Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Constitution of Ireland: A Contextual Analysis by Dr Oran Doyle
This book will provide a contextual analysis of Ireland’s constitutional order. The aim of the book is to provide an account of how constitutional governance in Ireland actually occurs rather than a doctrinal account of what the Constitution says. The dominance of the Parliament by the Executive warps the constitutional structure that appears on the face of the constitutional text leading to a diminished role for the Parliament and greater importance for the accountability and contestatory roles of other institutions principally but not solely the courts. The structure of the book aims to present the reality of this constitutional structure. The book therefore eschews an approach that presents the Parliament as legislator the Government as executive organ and the Courts as judicial organ.
