Ireland's Democracy (Dáil Eireann)

Dáil Eireann is the more powerful and democratic of two houses. It has 166 members called teacht dalaí [TD'S]. Every citizen of Ireland over 21 years of age who is not disqualified by the constitution or by law is eligible to be elected to the Dáil.
Td's are paid and they attend meetings in Dail Eireann.
These meetings are held about 90 days and deal with problems of the country and pass laws to try solve these problems.
