102 years of Dáil Éireann
On 21 January 1919, Dáil Éireann met for the first time and claimed the right of Ireland to self-government. Only 27 elected members attended the first public session of Dáil Éireann, while 34 were in prison and others were on undercover missions.

Dáil Day One
This short animated film tells the story of the circumstances that drove the members of the First Dáil to set up an independent parliament.
Papers of the early Dáil
The documents of the Dáil during its revolutionary period (1918-1923) are now available online. The collection, comprising more than 66,000 pages, was digitised by the National Archives of Ireland in partnership with the Houses of the Oireachtas.
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.
