Dex for students

Ask Dex anything about Irish politics.

Dex explains in plain English, checks the official record and points you to the source. Use it to understand a topic, get quizzed, or find what to cite.

Open Dex

Updated 9 October 2026

What Dex is good for

  • Explaining a concept a second way when the textbook did not land.
  • Quizzing you, one question at a time.
  • Looking up how a TD voted, what was said in a debate or what a Bill does, with links to the Oireachtas page.
  • Finding the official source you should cite.

What it should not do

  • Write assessed work for you. Your project, report and essays should be in your own words.
  • Replace your teacher's notes or the syllabus.
  • Be the final word. Open the linked source and check.

We noticed you're visiting from outside Ireland. A TD (Teachta Dála) is a member of Ireland's lower house of parliament—the closest equivalent to an MP. A Senator sits in Seanad Éireann, the upper house. You can still use DáilDex to follow either and receive the same alerts. Shareable explainer
