The Association was delighted to host an online panel discussion on 8th March to mark the 50th anniversary of Ireland's accession to the EEC in 1973. Ireland has experienced significant change over the last half century regarding employment, the regulation of employment, workplace conflict and dispute resolution. We brought together leading figures in the study and practice of industrial relations to reflect on the impact of Ireland's membership of the EU on industrial relations over the last 50 years.

Bill Roche, Professor of Industrial Relations and Human Resources at the School of Business, University College Dublin
Kevin Foley, Chairman of the Labour Court
