The Programme for Government 2025, Securing Ireland’s Future, recognises the importance of Cabinet Committees to the policy development and oversight work of Government.

The Cabinet Committee on EU and International Affairs was established by the Government on 18 February 2025.

Its role is to oversee implementation of Programme for Government commitments in relation to the European Union, including preparation of Ireland’s Presidency in the second half of 2026, and international issues.

The Cabinet Committee is scheduled to next meet on Monday 8 December in advance of the meeting of the European Council due to take place on 18 December. It is expected that discussion at the latter meeting will include the topics of Ukraine; the Middle East; European Defence and Security; the next Multiannual Financial Framework; enlargement and reform; migration; geo-economy and competitiveness.
