Ireland's MEPs in the Seanad
Seanad Éireann regularly welcomes some of Ireland's Members of the European Parliament, MEPs, to speak in the Chamber and debate with Senators. The Cathaoirleach, Senator Mark Daly, speaks about how this is a crucial part of the work of the Seanad.
Notable Debate
Establishing the Irish Free State
The Third Dáil approved Bunreacht Shaorstát Éireann, the Constitution of the new Irish Free State, in October 1922.
In early December 1922, the Irish Free State Constitution Act 1922 of the British Parliament provided that the Constitution would come into effect with a royal proclamation of 6 December 1922.
The Presidency of the Council of the EU
Ireland has assumed the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the eighth time it has taken the role since it did so first in 1975.
During the Presidency, Ireland will play a leading part in guiding negotiations, brokering agreements and helping to deliver laws and policies affecting more than 450 million people across Europe.
There are 174 Members (called Deputies or TDs) of Dáil Éireann.
There are 60 Members (called Senators) in Seanad Éireann.
