It provides for a directly elected, largely ceremonial [[President of Ireland]] (Article 12), a head of government called the [[Taoiseach]] (Article 28), and a national parliament called the [[Oireachtas]] (Article 15). The Oireachtas has a dominant directly elected lower house known as [[Dáil Éireann]] (Article 16) and an upper house [[Seanad Éireann]] (Article 18), which is partly appointed, partly indirectly elected and partly elected by a limited electorate. There is also an independent [[judiciary]] headed by the [[Supreme Court of Ireland|Supreme Court]] (Article 34).
