Search Criteria for Find a Mediator
Members who are Available to the Public can choose multiple locations to be “Available” to mediate in. Members of the public who search in these locations will be able to find you in any that you have specified. You may choose to be Available in single or multiple counties or Dublin areas or you can opt to be Available in any of the Provinces or All Ireland. If you choose a Province you will appear in a search for any individual county within that province. For example if you choose Munster any member of the public searching for a mediator in either Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary or Waterford will find you. You do not need to select to be available in each of the counties separately.

The MII is not responsible for your name not appearing in search results if you have not chosen the areas where you wish to be Available and we recommend that you periodically check to ensure that your profile comes up when carrying out searches.
