Todd: So, Ruth, youre from Ireland.
Ruth: Yes, thats right.
Todd: And could you talk a little bit about the government in Ireland, like do you have a president or a prime minister?
Ruth: In fact, we have both. We have a president, Mary McAleese, and then theres another set, another ruling body, where the head is called the Taoiseach, which is Irish for Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister at the moment is a man called Bertie Ahern.

Todd: OK, and whats that title called, Taoiseach.
Ruth: Taoiseach
Todd: Taoiseach
Ruth: Its Irish.
Todd: OK, so thats like Gaelic.
Ruth: Yeah. Yeah. There are still some parts of Ireland thats the Gaelic and, and also because its one of the official languages. A lot of things will have an Irish name and an English name as well.
Todd: So how do you choose the Taoiseach.
Ruth: The Taoiseach is chosen by the people. So we vote in the Prime Minister, but we also vote in the President as well. We get to choose both.
Todd: OK, well, thats quite interesting. Do the elections happen at the same time?
Ruth: No, usually they happen seperately.
Todd: OK, so whats the point of having the President?
Ruth: Im not sure. I dont really know. Im not big into politics, so Im not sure how the whole thing works.
Todd: Right, right.

Todd: Well, have you ever had a female Taoiseach, a female Prime Minister?
