Ceann Comhairle

The Ceann Comhairle is automatically returned unless they state their intention to retire before the Dáil is dissolved.[4] The outgoing Ceann Comhairle, Seán Ó Fearghaíl, did not retire. The first order of business of the new Dáil was to elect a new Ceann Comhairle. Ó Fearghaíl and Denis Naughten were both nominated, and Ó Fearghaíl was re-elected as Ceann Comhairle in a secret ballot.[5][6]

On 23 July 2020, Catherine Connolly and Fergus O'Dowd were nominated for the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Connolly was elected in a secret ballot.[7]
