Welcome to the 7th annual edition of DAC Beachcroft's Ireland Insurance Law Year in Review

2025 was a dynamic year for insurance law, marked by significant developments across Irish and EU jurisdictions. From landmark court decisions to impactful legislative changes, the landscape evolved rapidly across key practice areas including professional and commercial risk, healthcare, casualty, motor, property, cyber and data, regulatory, and employment.

In this edition, we’ve distilled the most relevant updates from the past year designed specifically for underwriters, claims handlers, and anyone involved in Irish claims. Our goal is to equip you with the insights you need to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2026.
