The Dáil, also known as the lower house of the Irish Parliament, is alternatively referred to as the Irish House of Representatives, the Chamber of Deputies, the Legislative Assembly, and simply as the Irish Parliament. Additionally, the term "the Commons" can also be used to refer to the Dáil, though this usage is less common. The Dáil is responsible for passing legislation, electing the Taoiseach (Prime Minister), and holding the government accountable through parliamentary questions and debates. Its importance in Ireland's political system cannot be overstated, and it is essential to have a variety of synonyms available to accurately convey its role and function.
