Abstract
The paper aims to investigate the foundational role of popular sovereignty within the Irish constitutional system, focusing in particular on the frequent and distinctive use of the referendum instrument. After providing necessary historical background, the paper will examine the main internal constitutional consequences and the implications for relations with external legal systems stemming from the conception of popular sovereignty, highlighting both its strengths and its criticisms.
