About this event
Join us for an employment law update on key Irish HR developments, including protected disclosures, retirement ages and part-time working.
The employment law landscape in Ireland is evolving rapidly. Join us on April 22nd 2026 for an update on current employment law developments and HR trends.
Jennifer Cashman, Head of Employment at RDJ LLP one of Ireland's leading Employment Lawyers, returns with our latest Employment Law Update bringing you practical, up-to-date insights on the key developments shaping the employment law landscape in Ireland right now.
Some topics we will be covering include:
Protected Dislosures; there has been a significant increase in protected disclosures, with a clear trend emerging of employees seeking to reframe historical grievances as protected disclosures. We'll explore why this is happening and how employers can manage it effectively.
Mandatory Retirement Ages; the legislation has been enacted but has not yet commenced. We'll cover what's coming, what you need to know, and how to start preparing.
Part-Time Working; the WRC has published an updated Code of Practice on Access to Part-Time Working. We'll outline what it means for employers and the expectations it places on organisations around flexible working arrangements.
