Irish Constitution

The fourth edition of this commentary on the Irish Constitution was prepared after the death of J. M. Kelly, whose original text it carries forward. Each Article appears in full, in both English and Irish, followed by a close analysis of its meaning.

The discussion draws on Irish decisions and relevant case law from other jurisdictions. This edition adds marginal notes to help readers locate material quickly and expands the commentary considerably.

The book is aimed at practitioners, students and academics working in constitutional law, and at anyone who needs a working understanding of the Irish legal system or a comparative view of constitutional principles.
