About this book
Reviews
“The book will be of particular interest to students of Irish social policy who will benefit from understanding the historical foundations of the contemporary system. It also provides an important resource for European and international scholars … . McCashin’s book makes a valuable contribution to scholarship on the Irish social security system – particularly in its important analysis of social security law and policy implemented following the financial crash.” (Ciara Fitzpatrick, European Journal of Social Security, Vol. 22 (3), 2020)
