Arbitration (Amendment) Bill 2025

What this means

• The Arbitration (Amendment) Bill 2025 is a government bill sponsored by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, currently progressing through the Oireachtas.[source]
• The bill proposes changes to existing arbitration law in Ireland, which governs how disputes are resolved outside of court through a neutral third party.[source]
• It is a government-sponsored measure, meaning it was introduced by the cabinet rather than by an individual member of the Oireachtas.[source]
• A vote related to the bill was held on 15 April 2026 and was carried, meaning the motion passed and the bill advanced in the legislative process.[source]
• Tracking this bill matters for accountability because changes to arbitration rules can affect how legal disputes involving public bodies and private parties are handled in Ireland.[source]
