Three years have now passed since ‘The Construction Contracts Act 2013’ (the Act) came into force in the Republic of Ireland (referred to as Ireland in this article) on 25 July 2016. This article seeks to investigate what impact the Act has made in the stated objective of supporting a swift resolution of payment disputes in the Irish construction industry, with particular emphasis on adjudication. Referring to research, evidence, authoritative commentary, and comparison with other jurisdictions, this article discusses what has influenced the adoption of the adjudication provisions in the first two years from enactment. The article then proceeds to consider adjudication activity in the third year to July 2019 in the wider context of dispute resolution activity before discussing what the future direction of adjudication in Ireland under the Act might be.
