From July to December 2026, Ireland will hold the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union, marking our eighth EU Presidency, the most recent of which was in 2013.
Throughout this six-month period, Ireland will lead the EU’s policy agenda, driving discussions on key legislative and policy matters. Irish ministers and officials will chair a majority of the Council of Ministers’ meetings and represent the Council in its dealings with other EU institutions, including the European Parliament.
With many of these high-level meetings taking place around Dublin city centre, The Chancery Hotel is ideally located for convenient access to key venues such as Dublin Castle, which is around the corner from the hotel, Farmleigh House & Estate, Iveagh House (Department of Foreign Affairs) at St. Stephen’s Green, and Government Buildings on Merrion Street. Whether attending official meetings or simply exploring the historic heart of Dublin, The Chancery offers a seamless blend of comfort and location.
