Centenary of the First Dáil
In May 1919 the First Dáil held a rare public sitting to welcome a delegation of three Irish-Americans. The delegation were representatives of the Irish Race Convention and had travelled to Europe to lobby American officials at the Paris Peace Conference. On 9 May, they addressed Dáil Éireann before returning to Paris.

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.
This year we celebrate Dáil100, the centenary of the First Dáil, which held its first public meeting on 21 January 1919.
The moment a woman marries the State dispenses with her services and takes upon itself the responsibility of giving her a gratuity. I do not suppose it is desired that I should break that rule.
