PBO | Interactive data exploration

With PBO | Explorer, the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) produces interactive resources allowing people to cut through the numbers and explore the effects of budgetary proposals, monetary policy and economic trends.

The PBO can help in seeing past data to gauge the real effects of policies in people's lives.

There are 174 Members (called Deputies or TDs) of Dáil Éireann.

There are 60 Members (called Senators) in Seanad Éireann.

We want to hear your opinion on how we communicate the work of our national Parliament.

The survey is available through English, Irish and ISL.

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.
