Records Of Irish Heads Of Government Since 1922

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Taoiseach (plural: Taoisigh) is the head of government (or prime minister) of Ireland. Prior to the enactment of the Constitution of Ireland in 1937, the head of government was referred to as the President of the Executive Council. This office was first held by W. T. Cosgrave from 1922-32, and then by Éamon de Valera from 1932-37. By convention Taoisigh are numbered to include Cosgrave, for example Enda Kenny is considered the 13th Taoiseach not the 12th. The first list is of all heads of Irish governments since 1922 by birth date, date first elected to Dáil Éireann, political party, Dáil constituency and date that they ceased to be a member of the Dáil. The second list is by periods in office.
