Last week, Dublin Chamber was pleased to win the award for best ‘Lobbying and Policy Campaign’ at the Chambers Ireland annual awards. The campaign, ‘Moving the Dial on the Right to Request Remote Work’, focused on championing the needs of members with regard to the impact of remote working.
Dublin Chamber launched our Business Priorities document for 2023 in Leinster House in May, with a cross party group of T.D.s in attendance. Dublin Business Priorities 2023 highlights the key actions required by Government to fulfil our vision for Dublin to be globally renowned for its quality of life, sustainability and economic vibrancy. It reflects the feedback we have had from you and your fellow members of Dublin Chamber through surveys, round tables, events and other meetings, and has been approved by our governing policy Council. It is a comprehensive summary of the issues we are bringing to Government this year and covers areas such as Enterprise and Competitiveness, Infrastructure and Housing, Sustainability and the Labour Market.
The launch was attended by President Stephen O’Leary and a number of Council members, and provided a great opportunity to speak to legislators.
