This event will explore the potential priorities of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU, and what this will mean for business leaders and directors in Ireland. Our panel of experts will be announced shortly.
Each EU member state holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union on a rotating basis for a period of six months. During the Presidency from July to December 2026, Ireland will be responsible for driving forward EU legislation, setting agendas, and brokering compromises among member states. It will also act as a neutral mediator to ensure continuity in EU work and represents the Council in negotiations with other institutions. Ireland last held the Presidency in 2013.
