Provides an in-depth analysis of the constitutional representation of Ireland and its citizens. In a society built on contradictions it is appropriate that the so-called foundational document of the polity is itself a complex of conflicting positions. The Irish Constitution can in this sense be read in a manner similar to the texts of literary modernism as a repository of irreconcilable ideas which together make up the text.
