The irregular satellites of Saturn are an important laboratory not only to investigate the dynamical and collisional evolution of the satellite systems of the giant planets but also to improve our comprehension of the mass transfer processes taking place between different bodies in the Solar System. Here we review the results of a series of investigations we performed on the origin and evolution of the Saturnian irregular satellites. In particular, we discuss the role of Phoebe in shaping the dynamical and collisional evolution of the outer Saturnian system and the origin of the orbital feature we labelled as Phoebe's Gap. Taking advantage of the data and the results from ground-based observations and the Cassini mission, we also discuss the origin and the formation region of these bodies and their link to the dark material coating the leading hemisphere of Iapetus and the recently discovered Saturnian ring spanning the orbital region of the irregular satellites.
