I have been practicing as a qualified Mediator since 2015. I am registered with the Mediators Institute of Ireland.

The role is to hear an appeal against a first instance decision and to decide whether an Appellant should be granted International Protection.

The Role of Adjudicator At an adjudication hearing, I consider the testimony and evidence provided by the parties in dispute and, following the hearing, I prepare an adjudication report, which contains my reasoned ‘determination’ i.e. decision in relation to the dispute. This report is sent to the parties, who have 10 working days within which to submit an application for appeal to an RTB Tribunal, if either party wishes to exercise this right. This role requires an in depth knowledge of Residential Tenancies Law and the law in relation to fair process, procedures and the rules of evidence. If my decision is not appealed, it forms the basis for a legally binding Determination Order. Parties to a dispute can also come to an agreement at the hearing and if the do I assist them by writing up an agreement and having the parties sign it. Parties to a dispute who have signed an agreement then had 10 days within which to change their minds but if they do not the agreement becomes legally binding.The Role of Mediator At a mediation, as a mediator I attempt to facilitate an agreement between the parties in a dispute. Where there is a successful outcome, the parties will sign a mediation agreement and I submit a report to the RTB, which will form the basis for a legally binding Determination Order which will be issued by the RTB.
