This thesis is a structural analysis of the DP in Irish. The thesis is based on analysis of a number of different types of noun phrases and a consideration of the observed patterns in relation to other languages and syntactic theory in general. The proposal accounts for the typical data that has been analysed previously in the literature as well as novel data not yet accounted for within existing analyses. As well as providing a full structural account of the Irish NP, the findings of this thesis provide evidence in Support of the universal existence of a number of functional projections, which have been shown to be projected for language in general.
