The government has issued the Critical Infrastructure Bill 2026 (Ireland), together with circulars, as a follow-on to the Accelerating Infrastructure Action Plan. Its purpose is to tackle delay, fragmentation and sequencing risks in delivering State infrastructure (meaning any infrastructure that allows the State’s essential facilities and systems to operate effectively, including transport facilities; energy generation, transmission and distribution systems; and water supply, wastewater and waste management systems). The Bill would cover projects and programmes financed through capital investment by, or on behalf of, the State, or by, or on behalf of, a public body (as defined in the Bill).

Such designation would be on foot of a recommendation from the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and...

The Bill has now cleared Dáil Éireann and features tax measures to boost housing delivery and regeneration. It outlines definitive provisions now reflected in the finalised legislation, following the Committee Stage.

Disputes & Investigations—Irish High Court refuses to grant injunction allowing a commercial tenant a ‘free ride’ in Dublin properties In Perfect Stripe Limited t/a Grafter v Fennell & others [2025] IEHC 585, the Commercial Court (Mr Justice Twomey) declined an interim injunction sought by a tenant aiming to retake three Dublin office premises from receivers who had assumed control after more than €3m in rent went unpaid. Key takeaways Another clear signal from the Irish High Court of the premium placed on certainty in leases, ensuring the documents reflect precisely what the parties mean. Non‑payment of reserved rent as and when due poses a substantial obstacle for a tenant seeking to curb the actions of a lawfully appointed receiver over the asset. At the injunction stage, the court gives marked emphasis to the black‑letter terms of the contract, as it cannot determine contested evidential matters at that...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
