Each network shows bill cosponsorships in the lower and upper chamber of the Irish Parliament.

The data cover years 1997–2015 of the lower (Dáil Éireann) and upper (Seanad Éireann) chambers, and are split by legislature. Note that Irish private bills are almost never cosponsored, which yields very small and sparse cosponsorship networks.

All networks are directed graphs drawn with the Fruchterman-Reingold force-directed algorithm. The ties connect the first author of each bill to the cosponsors of that bill. The nodes are sized by unweighted total degree. When two nodes belong to the same group, any existing tie between them is given the color of that group. There is a guide to party codes and colors at the end of this page.
