The Irish Constitution lays down the procedure for electing the president. To stand for office, the candidate must be an Irish Citizen, not less than 35 years of age and must be nominated by a certain number of members of the Irish Parliament or County Councils. An election is then held if there is more than one candidate.
The President of Ireland is Michael D Higgins, but the office of President is largely symbolic. The leader of Government (or Taoiseach) is Enda Kenny
Enda Kenny is not the leader of Ireland. He is the Taoiseach, which is the head of the Irish government. The head of the government in Ireland is not the head of state, which is the role of the president of Ireland. Michael D. Higgins is the president of Ireland. For Enda Kenny to have become Taoiseach, he had to be elected to Dáil Éireann, the Irish parliament, and as leader of the biggest party, he was voted in as Taoiseach when a government was formed. Elected members of his party, Fine Gael, and the Labour party, which are also part of the government, voted for him in Dáil Éireann.
You must be at least 35 years old to become president of Ireland.
The head of state in Ireland is the president. The current president (June 2011) is Mary McAleese, whose term will end later in 2011. Ireland does not have a vice president, so there is no vice leader of Ireland. The head of government, known as a Taoiseach, has a deputy, known as a Tánaiste, but neither of these can be considered the vice leader of the country.
