County Meath Chamber attended the Chambers Ireland CE Forum in Limerick. An excellent opportunity to engage with fellow Chamber leaders and talk business!
Hosted by Limerick Chamber in the Limerick Strand Hotel, the two day forum brought together Chamber leaders from across the country and featured a strong line up of speakers and valuable peer discussions on energy, infrastructure, housing and more.
Day 1 included a comprehensive overview from Jerry Hallissey (Shannon Foynes Port Company) on the strategic importance of Europe’s deepest water port, and a timely contribution from SSE on the future of energy security – including plans for the €63.9 million Tarbert Next Generation Power Station, future-proofed for hydrogen.
The forum also heard from Professor Stephen Kinsella (UL & ISE) on navigating economic uncertainty, a session that resonated with many.
The evening programme offered a welcome opportunity to experience Limerick’s cultural and tourism strengths – from a visit to King John’s Castle and a tour of Treaty City Brewery, to a performance by Limerick Opera Workshop and an evening in the city’s vibrant hospitality sector.
Day 2 featured insights from Mayor John Moran on the first year of directly elected mayoral leadership, followed by excellent presentations from Pat Daly and Elaine O’Connor (LCCC) on Ryder Cup 2027, and Enda Power on the Limerick 2030 development strategy.
