The Irish people elect people for their parliament, each known as TD. The parliament is known as the Dáil. The party with the most TDs in the Dáil usually forms a government by itself or with the help of another party in a coalition to ensure a majority. The leader of the biggest party will become Taoiseach, which is the official title for the head of an Irish government. The Taoiseach will then choose his ministers. A government can serve a maximum of 5 years before a new election, although an election can and often does happen sooner than that. The head of government is not the head of state. Ireland has a president. The president has a largely ceremonial role and is not an active member of the Dáil.
