Irish institutions refer to the various organizations and structures that play a significant role in the governance and social framework of Ireland. These include the Parliament, known as the Oireachtas, which consists of two houses: the Dáil Éireann and the Seanad Éireann. These institutions are responsible for making laws, representing the public, and overseeing the government. In addition to political institutions, Ireland has numerous cultural and educational institutions, such as universities, libraries, and museums. These organizations contribute to the preservation of Irish culture and heritage, promoting education and public engagement in the arts and history.
