"This book outlines the means by which Irish governments attempted to block Privy Council appeals. It examines the reality of claims that the Privy Council appeal offered a means of safeguarding the rights of the Protestant minority within the Irish Free State. Finally, it reveals British intentions that the Privy Council act as the guardian and enforcer of the settlement embodied in the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty. The conclusion to this work explains why the Privy Council was unsuccessful in protecting this settlement." - See dust jacket.
