[Michael Collins]

A brief tenure as Taoiseach and so remembered largely for his key role in turning the violence around rather than any progress economically. Still, a worthwhile tenure for that reason alone.

“Under the Constitution of Ireland, the Taoiseach must be appointed from among the members of Dáil Éireann. He is nominated by a simple majority of the chamber’s members, and formally appointed to office by the President. Since the President is required to appoint whomever the Dáil nominates without the right to decline appointment, it is often said that the Taoiseach is “elected” by the Dáil.” Wiki

When I read the post, I thought of Eyore and The Tao of Pooh......turns out I was wrong

Ireland: the only country which has a Taoiseach, and knows how to pronounce the word.
