GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND

Ireland is a parliamentary democracy.  The Head of the Government is the Taoiseach. The Tánaiste is the Deputy Prime Minister. There are 15 Government Departments.  The Taoiseach and the Ministers collectively form the Government under the Irish constitution, and they hold executive power.

The Parliament is called the Oireachtas. There are two Houses of Parliament:  Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (Senate). The Dáil has 166 members known as Teachtaí Dála (TD), who are elected using proportional representation with a single transferrable vote (PR-STV). Elections take place at least every five years.  The current government, elected in 2011, is a coalition between Fine Gael and Labour.  The other main political parties represented in the Dáil are Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin.

 The Seanad has 60 members, eleven of whom are nominated by the Taoiseach.  The rest are elected from vocational panels and by national universities.  The Seanad can initiate or revise legislation, but the Dáil can reject their amendments and proposed legislation.

The story of the world-famous vampire Count Dracula was written in 1897 by Bram Stoker, from Dublin. His real-life inspiration for his character was a friend of his, the actor Sir Henry Irving. Count Dracula was the culmination of 20 years of vampire stories in Victorian literature. Dracula is said to have been inspired by the early Irish legend of Bacharach, an evil chieftain who, after being betrayed by his subjects and slain by the hero Catharine, rose from his grave every night to drink the blood of his subjects.

WHY I CHOOSE THIS PLACE

• I picked Ireland because it’s the home of one of my favorite writers, Oscar Wilde. Wilde was and Angelo- Irish novelist, play writer, poet and critic, and he was very well known in London in the 19th century.

• Wilde was in his early 20’s when he started writing large quantities of books and had even written plays for some very important theater directors of that time. Some of his famous book include; “The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) ”, “ The Ideal Husband (1894)”,and, “The Importance of Being Earnest (1895)”
