The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam, today welcomed Mayor Olivia Chow of Toronto to the Mansion House for an official bilateral meeting during her visit to Ireland as part of a trade and cultural mission.

Mayor Chow’s visit to Dublin, which runs from July 7–9, includes a focused engagement with Ireland’s vibrant screen sector, in addition to meetings with the IDA and Enterprise Ireland. A sculptor and longtime advocate for the arts, Mayor Chow also visited the Famine Memorial on Dublin’s quays to reflect on the historic links between Ireland and Canada.

During her visit to the Mansion House, Mayor Chow and the Lord Mayor held a formal one-to-one meeting to discuss city-to-city relations, economic development, cultural collaboration, and shared priorities in areas such as sustainability, tourism, and community inclusion.

Following the bilateral meeting, the Lord Mayor hosted a working lunch with senior Dublin City Council officials drawn from departments including City Coordination and Regeneration, Sustainable Tourism, Film Production, Arts and Cultural Programming, and Sustainable Food Systems and Climate Action.

Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Ray McAdam said, “It is a great privilege to welcome Mayor Olivia Chow to Dublin — a city that, like Toronto, places enormous value on creativity, inclusion and global connection. Our two cities have a long and meaningful relationship, rooted in shared heritage and strengthened today through trade, culture, and people. From sustainable tourism to the screen sector, we have much to learn from each other. As Lord Mayor, I am committed to deepening our international partnerships — and this visit from Mayor Chow is a powerful reminder of the importance of cities working together to tackle global challenges and seize shared opportunities.”
