The Oireachtas is the national parliament of Ireland.

There are three parts of the Oireachtas:

The President of Ireland
Dáil Éireann - The lower house. It is similar to the House of Commons in the United Kingdom or the House of Representatives in the United States.
Seanad Éireann - The upper house. It is similar to the House of Lords and the Senate
