The free state of the Republic of Ireland has neither king nor queen.

Until May 07, 2008, the Taoiseach of Ireland, or Prime Minister, was Patrick Bartholomew (known as Bertie) Ahern. Mr Ahern resigned on May 06, 2008, and was succeeded by Mr Brian Cowen.

On Mr Cowen's resignation, he was succeeded as Taoiseach by Mr Enda Kenny, appointed by Ireland's President Mary McAleese on March 09, 2011. Mr Kenny is still currently Taoiseach of Ireland, at May 21, 2011.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and therefore Queen Elizabeth II is queen of that part of Ireland. The United Kingdom has no king.
