Employment Legislation Changes in 2026: What to Expect - Online
Join us for this informative webinar Employment Legislation Changes in 2026: What to Expect in association with Adare.
While the pace of change in Irish employment law slowed in 2025, there are significant changes scheduled for 2026.

This webinar examines these major developments along with compliance requirements to monitor in 2026 including the progress of draft legislation to consider as part of your Organisation’s preparations for the year ahead.
