DAWN County Kildare Chamber is the business organisation in Kildare, proactively working to identify and progress developments that are facilitative of economic and sustainable growth. Representing an employer base of 400 businesses and over 38,000 employees across the county, County Kildare Chamber is the largest business organisation in the mid-east region of Ireland.
Given the significant breadth and depth of our membership, and our representation on various bodies at local and national level, County Kildare Chamber constitutes the representative voice for business in Kildare, a particularly important role given the current economic circumstances we find ourselves in this year with Covid19 and the ever-looming Brexit.

Our continued lobbying, be it with regards to the recent Covid19 restrictions in Kildare or in regards to our pre budget submission, ensures that the voice of business in Kildare is heard. Our vast range and diversity of membership enables the Chamber to be the voice of business in the region. We are extremely fortunate in Kildare to have an array of multi nationals based in the county, along with strong vibrant indigenous SME’s and a diverse collection of HPSU’s operating in all our major towns. Our engagement with Government and department officials ensures that businesses in Kildare can interact with national policy makers readily. Covid19, the recent restrictions in Kildare and the ongoing supports required for business are our primary focus currently. The supports that businesses require with the presumed inevitable no deal Brexit influences our weekly policy engagement with Government.
