...Prof Madden is clear, factual and pragmatic...Overall, the third edition of this book is a unique valuable addition to the literature on ethics, medicine and law in Ireland. It is an exceptionally well-structured and well-informed volume, highly readable, easily navigable and extremely reliable.

Prof Brendan Kelly, Trinity College, Dublin, The Medical Independent (review of the previous edition)

It is a privilege to be asked to write the foreword to a book of such quality as this… There can be no doubt that readers are lucky to have someone with Professor Madden's unrivalled experience as the author of this, the leading and fascinating text on the interplay between law, medicine and ethics in Ireland.
