Dáil Éireann is the lower house of the Oireachtas, which is the national parliament of Ireland. It was established in 1919 and is responsible for making laws, debating important issues, and representing the people of Ireland. Members of Dáil Éireann, known as Teachtaí Dála (TDs), are elected by the public during general elections. The Dáil meets in the Leinster House in Dublin. It plays a crucial role in the legislative process, as proposed laws must be debated and approved by the Dáil before becoming official. The government is formed by the political party or coalition that has the majority of seats in the Dáil.
