Our mission is to ensure that Dublin is a great city in which to live, work, visit and learn. In pursuit of these objectives, the Chamber regularly responds to consultations organised by Government departments, local Government and state agencies.
Our submissions are informed through survey data from our Quarterly Business Trends Survey, input from the Chamber’s Council, stakeholder engagement with relevant experts in respective fields and focused economic analysis in the Chamber.
Submissions are typically supported by a strategic campaign to advocate for the recommendations we put forward. Such campaigns include: meetings with senior civil servants, TDs, Senators and Ministers; events and receptions and focused media activity.
