Dáil Éireann

Dáil Éireann is the lower house of Ireland’s national parliament, known as the Oireachtas. It is composed of Members of Parliament (TDs) elected by the public through general elections. The Dáil is responsible for making laws, scrutinizing the government, and debating national issues. Its primary roles include passing legislation, approving budgets, and holding the government to account. Decisions made here directly influence Irish policies and governance. As the main legislative body, the Dáil functions as the core institution where elected representatives represent the people's interests and shape the country's laws and policies.
