          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.
