What is the executive branch of the state?

Hello, Trying to differentiate between the: Legislative Judicial Executive branches of the state. I think Legislative is the Oireachtas - Dáil, Seannad, President. I think Judicial is all the courts in Ireland - Supreme, High, Criminal, District. As for the executive branch, I am very confused! :(

Hello,

Trying to differentiate between the:

Legislative
Judicial
Executive

branches of the state.

I think Legislative is the Oireachtas - Dáil, Seannad, President.
I think Judicial is all the courts in Ireland - Supreme, High, Criminal, District.

As for the executive branch, I am very confused!

The Taoiseach and the Ministers despite being members of the legislative are the Irish executive

Ireland have a weak separation of powers between the legislative and executive brances

Thanks Ciaran,

It was hard to determine that for sure when I don't know much about it.
