The Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (Irish: Coimisiún Thithe an Oireachtais) is the governing body responsible for the administration of the Oireachtas. It is a corporate body established by the Houses of the Oireachtas Act 2003, independent in performing its functions and has no role in setting parliamentary business. Like the British House of Commons Commission, the Oireachtas Commission continues to exist during the dissolution period and the Ceann Comhairle continues to serve as chair of the Commission until a new Ceann Comhairle is elected by the next Dáil.
