Leo Varadkar has led Ireland to recovery since and during Covid. He has profoundly impacted the political, economic and social landscape during his successful tenure as leader. “We’ve been fortunate to engage with him in each of his roles as a Minster and as Taoiseach. Investment, employment and living standards are now at the highest levels in the history of the state. We want to thank him for his long-standing support for and engagement with Dublin Chamber in our work in advocating for businesses in the region and we wish him well for the future”, Mary Rose Burke, CEO of Dublin Chamber said today.

“Tomorrow (Thursday 21st March), we will hold a special half day meeting of our elected Policy Council to set out our lobbying priorities for the next Taoiseach and new leader of Fine Gael. We will be encouraging the current Government under a new Taoiseach to accelerate the delivery of water, energy and transport infrastructure for the region and to ensure more affordable housing is made available across the city and its many commuting towns.”
