Should there be term limits set for members of the Dáil Éireann?
A term limit is a law which limits the length of time a person may serve in an elected office. In Ireland the President is limited to two seven year terms. The Prime Minister and Dáil Éireann must be re-elected every five years.

Yes term limits on performance and cut of pensions if found of misused power for gains of acquaintances
@9ZJGYFX3mos3MO
Term limits but have a criteria to reach to be eligible to have another term, and decrease pay and retirement benefits regardless
@9YNB66M3mos3MO
No but we need a set retirement age so we don’t have people over 65 running the country. Make it so you must be 61 at your time of re-election and older than that then you can’t run or something like that
@9YM7NHX3mos3MO
No. There should be a vote every 4 years, asking citizens if they believe the current government is doing a good job or not. If not, a new election will be held. But the people in power should remain in power if the people corroborate that they are doing a good job.
@conorbruce 8mos8MO
No, as i feel elections are good term limits but I do believe wages and benefits should be lowered for TD's
@9HM7ZJW1yr1Y
There should not be term limits. They should be tested in the cognitive abilities, Mental health, physicality and their past performance.
@8ZJCKMH3yrs3Y
No, but there should be a no moonlighting clause. If you are elected you should hold no business, shares, directorships, or rental property and you must retire to a public servant pension.

If the limits were less then they could think in longer terms for the future instead of smaller stints like only four years
