∙ 8y agoThe Republic of Ireland's parliament, the Oireachtas, consists of the President of Ireland, Seanad Éireann, being the upper House, and Dáil Éireann, being the lower House. The Seanad is composed of sixty members; eleven nominated by the Taoiseach, six elected by two universities, and 43 elected by public representatives from panels of candidates established on a vocational basis.
As of the election of February 2016, the Dáil has 158 members called Teachtaí Dála [T.D.] and are elected to represent 40 multi-seat constituencies by the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. This means that each constituency ends up with more than one elected representative - unlike the U.K. when it is 'first past the post'. Under the constitution, parliamentary elections must be held at least every seven years, though a lower limit may be set by statute law. The current statutory maximum term is five years.
