The Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union begins on 1 July and runs until end of December 2026. The Council is the EU institution representing member state governments and every six months, the presidency of this institution rotates among them. The presiding country sets the EU agenda, focusing on priorities and pressing issues.

During the annual State of the EU debate, the European Parliament and the European Commission hold an open debate on the state of the EU. Follow the 2026 debate live on Wednesday, 16 September, at 9:00 CET by joining us at the European Parliament's Info Hub in Brussels or watching the livestream.

For over a decade, this Parliament has been proud to host art exhibitions organised by the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union, giving people the opportunity to explore art and cultural expression from across our Union. The Irish works in our collection reflect the diversity and richness of our Union and attest to the continuity of Veil’s legacy in supporting new and young artists. Click here!
