  Taoiseach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Taoiseach is appointed by the President upon the nomination of Dáil Éireann (the lower house of parliament), and must, while he or she remains in office, enjoy the confidence of the Dáil.
The Taoiseach nominates the remaining members of the Government, who are then, with the consent of the Dáil, appointed by the President.
The modern position of Taoiseach was established by the 1937 Constitution of Ireland, to replace the position of President of the Executive Council of the 1922-1937 Irish Free State.

 Taoiseach's question-time in Dáil Éireann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
