The Supreme Court

The inside story of the institution that has shaped Ireland.

It intrigues outsiders, can make governments tremble and has played a key role in some of the biggest controversies in Irish society. Yet very little is known about Ireland's Supreme Court - one of the most powerful institutions in the country.

This book - the first ever written on the subject - is a revealing account of a fascinating institution.
