Businesses across Ireland continue to navigate an evolving immigration landscape, making it more important than ever to stay informed on compliance, workforce planning, and future developments.
In 2025, our Chamber completed a Roundtable Series of Members. One of the key, consistent challenges that emerged was the difficulty businesses face in finding clear, practical guidance on managing corporate immigration programs effectively.
To directly address this, we have partnered with industry experts to provide a foundational overview of Ireland’s business immigration structures alongside the latest policy shifts and anticipated future developments to help you prepare.
Join us on Tuesday 16th June for an insightful session with guest speakers Phillip McNally, Senior Manager and Danielle Morris Manager of Deloitte Ireland LLP’s Immigration team. This session will provide practical guidance and expert insight into the key immigration considerations currently impacting employers and businesses operating in Ireland.
Topics covered will include:

Ireland business immigration overview
Recent business immigration changes
Current challenges and flags for employers
Compliance and risk considerations
Future developments and anticipated changes
Managing your immigration programme – key tips for employers

This briefing is ideal for business owners, HR professionals, senior management teams, and anyone responsible for workforce planning or employee mobility. The session will also provide an opportunity to network with fellow businesses over breakfast while gaining practical knowledge from industry experts.
We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a highly informative and valuable event.

Living City Initiative Information Session
2026-06-23 17:00 - 18:30 | McGeoughs Bar & Restaurant, Roden Place, Dundlak, Ireland
With Louth County Council calling on the owners of properties in Dundalk and Drogheda to take part in the Living City Initiative the Chamber are hosting an Information Session for interest property owners.
The initiative gives owners of properties built before 1975 within the designated Special Regeneration Areas (SRAs) financial support to repair, improve or convert older buildings. This includes turning vacant upper floors and “over‑the‑shop” spaces into homes.
The Living City Initiative gives property owners a practical way to reduce the cost of building works through tax relief. It supports owners to bring vacant or under‑used buildings back into use, improve the condition of their properties and increase their value. It can also help create new homes or business spaces in town centres, offering the chance to generate rental income and make better use of existing buildings. It will also help protect and reuse historic buildings while supporting more sustainable development and stronger communities.
Property owners who believe their building may qualify are encouraged to contact Louth County Council at livingcity@louthcoco.ie or visit www.louthcoco.ie for information on how the scheme works, eligibility criteria, and how to apply.
They can also follow Louth County Council on social media for updates or come along to the information session.

Why We Keep Doing Things That Don’t Truly Satisfy Us ? The Gap Between Achievement and Fulfilment in working life and beyond.
This talk explores why things don’t always change, even when we try to approach them differently. It draws on everyday experiences in work and relationships, offering a way of understanding patterns that repeat and don’t seem to shift.
Who it’s for
For people who notice themselves moving forward, whether in their professional life or beyond, yet still finding themselves in the same situations or patterns, encountering a sense of dissatisfaction that doesn’t quite shift.
What will be covered:
⦁ Why we repeat patterns that don’t lead to satisfaction
⦁ The gap between achievement and fulfilment
⦁ Why doing more doesn’t necessarily lead to feeling more satisfied
⦁ Why understanding something isn’t always enough for it to change
⦁ A different way of approaching and understanding patterns that don’t seem to shift
Whether you’re noticing similar patterns in your own life, or are simply curious about how change unfolds, this session offers a space to reflect on these questions and consider them from a different perspective.
FREE to Dundalk Chamber Members. €10 plus VAT for Non Members
