Mediation Awareness Week

7th October to 12th October 2019

 

In Ireland today mediation is becoming more and more the ‘go to’ process for resolving disputes and conflicts in all walks of our lives. Recently we have seen the Ryanair pilots' dispute and a claim by a young boy suffering from cerebral palsy successfully resolved through mediation. There are many many more examples.

Mediation is now enshrined in Irish Law. It is a successful and cost-effective alternative to going to Court. It saves time, money and important relationships. Mediators do not make decisions or judgments, instead they quickly and expertly help people in conflict to reach their own agreement together. 

Mediation Awareness Week will highlight the benefits of this highly effective process and the opportunity it offers to resolve conflict right across our society. The sole objective of Mediation Awareness Week is to grow awareness, knowledge and use of mediation all over across the island of Ireland.
