            From this page:

            To be eligible for election as President, you must be an Irish citizen who is 35 or older. You must be nominated either by:

            • At least 20 members of the Oireachtas
            • At least 4 local authorities
            • Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves

            Oireachtas means parliament.
