The Taoiseach is the head of an Irish government, similar to a prime minister in other countries. See the link below for details on what a Taoiseach can do.
The Taoiseach is the head of the government. As Ireland is a democracy, the Taoiseach is answerable to the Irish parliament, known as the Dáil and to the people of Ireland. The head of state in Ireland is the president, and officially appoints a Taoiseach after the Dáil has voted for a Taoiseach and accepts a Taoiseach's resignation and the calling of a general election after its dissolution for of the Dáil for an election.
There is no time limit on a Taoiseach as such. There must be a general election at least every 5 years. After that the Irish Parliament - Dáil Éireann - elects a Taoiseach. So if the same government won several elections, a Taoiseach could be in power for a long time. If he resigns as Taoiseach, as Bertie Ahern did last year, a new Taoiseach can be elected. Bertie Ahern was Taoiseach for 11 years. Eamon DeValera was Taoiseach for 16 years.
