Mediation is not restricted to disputes which have become the
subject of litigation. It can be effective in resolving conflict within organisations and institutions and has
a special role in resolving family, relationship and community conflicts.
In the commercial world mediation can assist in resolving many disputes including
employment, partnership and joint venture disputes.
At a community level Northside Community Law Centre is developing an innovative mediation
service www.nclc.ie , while Just Sports Ireland operates a Sports Tribunal which includes mediation
among its solutions menu.
The Irish Law Reform Commission has published a very
comprehensive consultation paper on alternative dispute resolution, which includes a section on mediation. The paper,
LRC CP-50 2008, can be accessed at www.lawreform.ie .
