This informative book has been written in a way that is refreshingly understandable for lay people, as well as being an excellent reference resource for those in the legal sector. Solicitors and agricultural law practices across Ireland can greatly benefit from this publication when imparting advice to their clients. 

The contents of this book include but are not limited to include:
