President of Ireland

The President of Ireland is the country's head of state, serving as a symbol of national unity and representing Ireland internationally. Elected by the citizens for a seven-year term, the president performs ceremonial duties, like signing laws and receiving foreign dignitaries. While largely a figurehead, the president also has some key powers, such as appointing judges and confirming certain government decisions, often based on advice from the government. The role is non-partisan and aims to embody Irish identity, uphold the constitution, and promote national interests.
