What would be called a Prime Minister in other countries is known as a Taoiseach in Ireland. Before 1938, the term used was President of the Executive Council. The first person to hold that title was William T. Cosgrave, who held it from October 1922 to March 1932. When the term Taoiseach was first used, Eamon DeValera was the person to first hold it.
