Eurochambres
Chambers Ireland works not only to represent the views of Irish business nationally, but they also work with a network of European Chambers of Commerce to ensure that the interests of Irish business are represented at European level. A core part of their work is to monitor, and influence legislation debated and agreed at European level so that they can ensure that Irish business can provide input on any regulatory changes that may impact them in the future. In the post-Brexit climate, it is now more important than ever for Irish business to engage with the European Union.

It voices the interests of over 19 million-member enterprises in 45 European Countries through a network of national, regional and local Chambers.
