Taoiseach Officially Opens EY’s New Dublin Headquarters at Wilton Park

EY Ireland has officially opened its new 187,000 sq ft. state of the art headquarters at Wilton Park in Dublin 2. The new office was officially opened today by Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, alongside EY Ireland Managing Partner, Frank O'Keeffe, EY Partners, colleagues, clients and guests from across the island of Ireland.

Today, EY is the largest and fastest-growing professional services firm on the island of Ireland employing more than 5,600 people across seven offices in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Derry/Londonderry and Waterford. More than 3,400 people work for EY Ireland in Dublin. The new headquarters is designed to meet the evolving needs and expectations of EY clients and people.

EY is a transformation and technology leader, offering a full suite of services to a broad range of clients, in areas such as assurance, corporate finance, tax, law and consulting.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: “I am pleased to officially open EY’s new headquarters here at Wilton Park, a building that reflects both the very best of Dublin’s heritage and its ambition for the future. This is a significant vote of confidence in Dublin as a place to invest, to grow and to bring talented people together, and I want to congratulate EY on this milestone as it enters an exciting new chapter for the firm here in Ireland.”

Frank O’Keeffe, EY Ireland Managing Partner, said: “Today is an extremely proud day for all of us in EY Ireland. Our new headquarters in Wilton Park represents the next step in EY's growth story on this island and is a clear statement of confidence in Dublin as a global business hub. This custom designed office showcases our firm’s commitment to innovation, culture, wellness and sustainability. It has been carefully designed for how we work today and how we will work into the future. With world-class client facilities that foster innovation and deep collaboration and allow us to assist our clients with their most pressing strategic challenges and opportunities, as well as agile workspaces for all of our people, all powered by the latest cutting-edge technologies.  In a world changing at breathtaking speed, we are incredibly proud to continue our investment in our clients, our people, our communities and the future of our firm here in Ireland.”

Client spaces

Designed with multipurpose client space at its core, EY Ireland’s new headquarters has the latest cutting-edge technologies deployed throughout including a unique immersive client experience space “the Igloo” that helps clients unlock solutions to some of their most strategic issues.  

The new Wilton Park office also includes a unique space that our EY Entrepreneur of the Year programme alumni can avail of for meetings and collaboration sessions.    

A building shaped by Dublin’s heritage

Wilton Park sits in the heart of Baggotonia, the stretch of the Grand Canal once home to some of Ireland’s best-loved literary figures, including Patrick Kavanagh, and Mary Lavin, to name but two.

Our Irish heritage is central to all aspects of the building via craft, art, décor and landscape from bespoke joinery and furniture to art carefully curated and featuring Irish and international artists.

The building has achieved the highest sustainability ratings and includes a 24,000 sq ft rooftop garden space as well as extensive cycle parking and charging for e-bikes and e-scooters.

Sarah Connellan, Head of Real Estate & Tax Partner, EY Ireland, said: “In our new building we have carefully incorporated the very best of Dublin's rich heritage and the highest sustainability standards with the most exciting technologies for the benefit of our people and our clients. Every design decision was made with intention and care. The building can adapt as technology and ways of working continue to evolve and already our people and our clients are really enjoying all it has to offer.”
