A TD is a member of Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Oireachtas. It is the equivalent of terms such as "Member of Parliament" (MP) or "Member of Congress" used in other countries. The official translation of the term is "Deputy to the Dáil", although a more literal translation is "Assembly Delegate".
