Reviews

The Constitutional Systems of the World series aims to provide interested readers with accessible volumes that outline the historical, political and legal context that gives life to the bare texts of national constitutions. The Irish contribution to this series succeeds in fulfilling all of these objectives.
*The Irish Jurist*

The Constitution of Ireland: A Contextual Analysis offers a timely interdisciplinary analysis which will be of interest to lawyers, social scientists and other scholars with an interest in Irish public life, as well as interested general readers. It would be ideal for undergraduate and introductory law school courses on Irish and comparative constitutional law; and ideally it will contribute to establishing a tradition of contextual research on Irish constitutional law.
*Studies*

Oran Doyle’s contribution to Hart’s Constitutional Systems of the World series should be read by anyone with an interest in Irish constitutional law and also by comparative constitutional lawyers.
