Summary/Abstract: The social dialogue which can be understood as a  process which “includes all types of negotiation, consultation and exchange of information between, or among, representatives of governments, employers and workers on issues of common interest” operates in the wider industrial relations area. If we take into consideration a fact that there are the very dynamic issues in this area, we will have to explore the matters, for example, such as the legal and organisational frameworks for the social dialogue, actors of it (including the most important social partners), or, tendencies for this area. The main aim of the paper, therefore, is a presentation of these chosen issues in the context of the Irish social dialogue. It can be seen as an effort for the presentation of Ireland’s social dialogue in outline.
