Reviews
“[Coffey] is almost unique in combining the skills of an expert historian and constitutional lawyer and with these two stunning books he takes this research to an entirely new level. … Coffey has produced two companion volumes which are likely to stand the test of time as the definitive accounts of the drafting of the Constitution. These two volumes combine the assiduous attention to detail of the historian with the lucid and crisp analysis of a profound constitutional scholar.” (Gerard Hogan,Parliaments, Estates and Representation, Vol. 40 (3), 2020)
“Exceptionally lucid and well-written. By locating the debates about the function, purpose, and textual provisions of the Irish Constitution within a wider political context, Donal K. Coffey has produced a significant new contribution to the literature on Irish constitutional law and comparative legal scholarship more broadly.” (Colm O’Cinneide, Professor of Law, University College London, UK)Authors and Affiliations
