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.
I wish everybody a happy Valentine's day and I hope the love in the room is transmitted throughout the country. I also hope the love remains within the room for the duration of the meeting.
