This legal compilation provides insight into the legislative landscape during the early years of the Irish Free State.

It covers the period from 1922 to 1928, capturing the legal framework that shaped the nation during its formative years. At just over 100 pages, it is concise, but its significance lies in its function: it offers a structured review and index of the statutes passed between the establishment of the Free State in 1922 and the end of the decade, a period marked by constitutional experimentation, institutional consolidation, and post‑Civil War legal reconstruction.
