The Republic of Ireland is a Parliamentary Republic, with a figurehead President as head of state and a Taoiseach who leads the government. this would be a corresponding role to what is called a Prime Minister in other countries.
Ireland was under British rule for hundreds of years. Ireland gained it's independence from Britain in 1921. Ireland is a Republic with three main rulers, a President, a Taoiseach, and a Parliament. The republic is based on the Irish Constitution of 1937.
The president is the official head of state. They are elected by the people to a seven year term. They may only serve 2 terms. Their duties are to call Parliament into session, appointing the Taoiseach and other officials, and signing laws passed by Parliament. There powers are limited.
The Taoiseach, is the head of the government, administers laws passed by Parliament. The President appoints them to a maximum of 5 years. A general election must be held at least every 5 years, but they can happen more often than that. In most cases, the Taoiseach is the leader of the party with a majority in the Dáil. The Dáil elects the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach selects the cabinet. Cabinet members head government departments. The Taoiseach and the ministers officially receive their seals of office from the president. While there must be an election at least every 5 years, it is possible that the same party or parties could be in government again if re-elected, so a government and Taoiseach can stay in power for a long time, not just 5 years.
Parliament consists of the Dáil and the Seanad. The Dáil has 166 members who are elected by the people to serve up to 5 years. They make the laws. The Seanad serves mainly as an advisory body to the Taoiseach and the Dáil. It has 60 members who also serve terms up to 5 years. They are not elected by the people. Some are selected by the Taoiseach and others through specially elected panels.
