It covers all significant constitutional developments up to April 2019.This second edition is comprised of three thematic parts.

The third part addresses rights inIrish constitutional law.As well as introducing key principles and themes, this casebook offers a great deal of criticalinsight and analysis. In doing so, it recognises that constitutional law is not just a body ofabstract rules interpreted and applied by the courts.
