Is Ireland governed by one big central government?

The Republic of Ireland is governed by a unicameral parliament, which is known as the Dáil Éireann. It is composed of 160 TDs (Teachtaí Dála, in Irish), who are directly elected by the people of Ireland. The Dáil Éireann is the highest legislative body in Ireland and exercises oversight over the government. The government of Ireland is led by the Taoiseach (prime minister), who is elected by the Dáil and forms the cabinet with other ministers. The government is accountable to the Dáil and answer questions regularly in parliament. Therefore, Ireland is not governed by one big central government but rather a representative parliament.
