A Guide to Ireland's Foundational Document
This book is a detailed explanation of Ireland's Constitution. It traces the document's history, from its roots in the 1922 Constitution of the Irish Free State to the current Bunreacht na hÉireann adopted in 1937. Figgis breaks down the complex legal and political concepts within the Constitution, explaining its structure, key articles, the role of institutions like the Oireachtas (parliament) and the judiciary, and how it interacts with international law and EU membership. The aim is to provide a clear understanding of how the Constitution governs the lives of Irish citizens and the workings of the Irish state.
