The Irish Free State cover

Originally published in 1936, this book provides an accurate and critical analysis of government in the Irish Free State, its principles, structure, philosophy and direction. It discusses clearly and impartially not only the failure of the Treaty settlement but also the electoral system, the legislature, the increase of executive power and the growth of administrative law and justice.

‘The author of this book is an Irishman, who keeps his head clear, and has the requisite knowledge of political theories, ideas and systems…to make his book one of the most interesting that has yet been written about the political evolution of the Irish state.’ Irish Times

‘…such a book has long been wanted…this book cannot fail to be of great interest to all students of modern political development.’ International Affairs

‘A work which gives a very tolerably just and sane view of the position in 1934…He has mastered his Irish material fairly and interprets it sensibly…he presents his data fully and fairly for the reader’s judgement.’ Times Literary Supplement.
