Parliamentary Elections
The lifetime of a D?il is not more than five years from the date of its first meeting. In practice, however, the Taoiseach normally exercises his power to recommend dissolution before the end of that period. A general election must take place within thirty days of dissolution of the D?il, and the newly elected D?il must meet within thirty days of the polling date.
