“This book brings together deep, insightful, and to my mind, novel historical insights into how religion and law interacted in Ireland in the two hundred years before independence, and in the early period of the Irish state. All the contributions are highly credible historical works that make genuine contributions to historical understanding using legal focus and insight. … It is a model work of legal history, a great addition to the literature, and very easy to recommend.” (David Kenny, Journal of Church and State, Vol. 65 (2), 2023)
