This book is what it says on the cover: the standard text on the subject of Irish politics. From then on should you want to branch off down more topic-specific areas you refer to other books many of which are referenced. The book is also very readable and does not drown or overburden the reader in data or text.
An excellent study of Irish politics; the standard text on the subject.
