Policy Initiatives

Fingal Chamber's policy is directed by members who identify their business priorities through the Fingal Business Sentiment Survey and input from the Chamber's Business Council.

Our current policy priorities are:

  • Increasing the supply of Housing
  • Increasing the availability of Skills and Talent
  • Improving Public Transport Infrastructure and Services, and tackling Congestion

 

On national matters, Fingal Chamber works with Chambers Ireland and our nationwide network of affiliated Chambers to lobby and represent Irish business interests. Chambers Ireland monitors the policy issues that affect Irish businesses and represents those views to Government.

Chambers Ireland’s 2025 Pre-Budget Submission is available to download here.
