About IBEC

The Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC) was formed in 1993 as a result of a merger between the Confederation of Irish Industry (CII) and the Federation of Irish Employers (FIE). With the CII, founded in 1932 and the FIE founded in 1942 we have over 75 years experience.

Today, IBEC is the national umbrella organisation for business and employers in Ireland. Its policies and procedures, set by a national council and a board, are implemented by an executive management group.

At a practical level, IBEC provides its membership base of over 7500 organisations with knowledge, influence and connections. IBEC staff offer practical employer services as well as the opportunity to network and lobby at an industry level through a web of over 60 business sector associations.
