An Taoiseach is the Irish version, and I honestly don't know how to put it in English correctly. A Taoiseach is just wrong, theres something not right about it :P [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 03:30, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

:Yep - the "An" in the first sentence is the definite article "The" -  "The Taoiseach is...".  But the office itself is that of 'An Taoiseach', as it is an [[Irish language]] term.  We can look at better phraseology to make it obvious that it isn't just a typo.
