PQ Explorer

PQ Explorer is a way of visually investigating what Members ask about and as such, it is a showcase of how Oireachtas open data can facilitate rich and diverse interrogation of the work of Parliament.

Ireland: a parliamentary democracy
Ireland is a parliamentary democracy. The National Parliament (Oireachtas) consists of the President and two Houses: Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate) whose functions and powers derive from the Constitution of Ireland enacted by the people on 1 July 1937. The Houses of the Oireachtas are situated at Leinster House, Dublin.
