EDITORIAL FICC

 

Dear FICC Members,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to this first edition in 2026 of the FICC Newsletter.  This month’s edition is especially energising, not least because we are delighted to welcome five new Corporate and SME members: Air Liquide, Baku, Ogier, St. Helens Hotel and Priory GRC Consulting Limited — each bringing fresh expertise and ambition to our business community. 

The start of the year has already seen vibrant activity across the chamber. We look forward to bringing members together at the FICC Members Soirée on 11th February at the French Residence in Dublin — an evening designed to foster networking, dialogue, and meaningful collaboration.

We are also thrilled to introduce the FICC Learning Expedition — a tailored programme geared towards companies, educational institutions and groups looking to immerse themselves in Ireland’s dynamic business landscape.  This initiative reflects our commitment to deepening connections, sharing knowledge, and expanding opportunities across borders, all in perfect alignment with the recently signed Bilateral Strategic Framework by France and Ireland.

Thank you for your continued trust in the chamber.  Finally, here’s to an exciting rugby match this Thursday evening! Allez les verts! Allez les bleus! 

Kind regards / bien cordialement,

Cliona McGowan
Director / Directrice Générale
