"The book is exceptionally well designed itself, split into sections which are easily readable and containing many illustrations. Another joy of this volume is the spirited, opinionated essay by Shane O’Toole." — Jane Humphries, Books Ireland "The Irish Architectural Review, produced by the inestimable Gandon Editions, gave me a lot of pleasure. It provides a wonderful overview of Irish architecture today, and for the layperson provides a real insight into the kinds of design issues architects confront in making new buildings or restoring old ones." — Patricia Quinn, Irish Times ‘Books of the Year’
