Ceann Comhairle
Until 2020, a newly elected Dáil would choose the Ceann Comhairle (Speaker/Chairperson), but starting in 2020, the Ceann Comhairle was elected by secret ballot. The Ceann Comhairle must be impartial during the daily business and proceedings of the House. The Standing Orders (rules) of Dáil Éireann say all the powers and duties of the Ceann Comhairle for  parliamentary business, eg. the proper conduct of debate, parliamentary questions, amendments to Bills and motions, disorderly conduct.
