Policy Priorities

Fingal Chamber’s policy work is shaped directly by our members. Business priorities are identified through the Fingal Business Sentiment Survey and input from the Chamber’s Business Council, ensuring that the issues we champion reflect the real needs of our local business community.

Our Current Policy Priorities

We are focused on the key areas that have the greatest impact on growth, competitiveness, and quality of life in Fingal:

  • Housing: Increasing the supply of homes to meet demand and support workforce stability.

  • Skills and Talent: Expanding access to education, training, and talent to strengthen our labour market.

  • Transport and Infrastructure: Improving public transport services and tackling congestion to make Fingal more connected and competitive.

Representing Business Nationally

On national matters, Fingal Chamber works with Chambers Ireland and our nationwide network of affiliated Chambers to represent the interests of Irish businesses.

Chambers Ireland monitors policy issues at national level, engages with Government, and ensures that the collective voice of business is heard.
