Donal K. Coffey – författare

This book illuminates a critical moment in Irish history and the confluence of national, Commonwealth, and international influences that gave rise to it, for scholars of Irish history as well as of legal, constitutional, and Commonwealth history more broadly.

Coffey pioneers a new method of draft sequencing in order to track early influences in the drafting process and demonstrate the importance of European influences such as the German, Polish, and Portuguese Constitutions to the Irish drafts.

This book deals with the role, development, and legacy of the first Constitution of independent Ireland within the wider context of the establishment of the State. from individual aspects like property rights, the Irish language and environmental rights to aspects such as opposition and partition.
