Harry Clarke's Geneva Window

The Geneva Window: Through a Glass Darkly considers how Harry Clarke's master artwork came about and the controversial aspects that have become synonymous with the stained glass piece.

Our digital companion to the documentary sees Ardal O'Hanlon guide us in a deeper examination of each of the panels in the window.

Ireland: a parliamentary democracy

Leinster House

Ireland: a parliamentary democracy

Ireland is a parliamentary democracy. The National Parliament (Oireachtas) consists of the President and two Houses: Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate) whose functions and powers derive from the Constitution of Ireland enacted by the people on 1 July 1937. The Houses of the Oireachtas are situated at Leinster House, Dublin.
