Advocacy

Dublin Chamber is the voice of Dublin business we listen to our member companies. We hear their concerns and speak and lobby on their behalf, focusing on developing the Dublin region’s infrastructure and housing supply, promoting competitiveness, and improving local governance.

Our lobbying priorities include:

  • Complete the Eastern and Midlands Water Supply Project and the Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme by 2030.
  • Remove the Passenger Cap on Dublin Airport.
  • Commence construction on MetroLink, DART+ South West, Coastal South and North, and Luas Finglas in 2025. Complete Bus Connects in 2025.
  • Introduce a public model of childcare provision and ensure that services are matched to population centres.
  • Ensure that half of all new homes or 30,000 units are built in the Greater Dublin Area each year to meet pent-up and future demand. Zone more land for housing in Dublin’s commuter towns, served by public transport.
  • Make Dublin safer. Increase Gardaí overall numbers from 14k to 18k and invest in public spaces, lighting and cleanliness on Dublin’s streets.
  • Cut Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to 20% for unquoted actively trading SMEs.
  • Increase investment in Ireland’s sustainable energy infrastructure, while increasing supports available to businesses trying to decarbonise
