The Mansion House was conceptualised in the 18th century by one of Ireland’s great visionaries, Joshua Dawson. The Round Room was purpose designed in 1821 to receive King George IV. Remarkable political events have taken place here including the first ever meeting of the Dáil Eireann in 1919 and throughout the years we have proudly welcomed high-profile guests from across the globe including Pope John Paul II, Nelson Mandela, Queen Victoria, Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace of Monaco.
It was in the Round Room, in 1919 that the first Dail Eireann was held: Making the first definitive parliamentary move for home rule. Seventy of the elected Irish representatives did not attend West Minister but pledged to the First Irish parliamentary meeting ever held in Ireland instead.
In 1921, 100 years after the room was built to receive the British monarch, the Anglo-Irish Treaty was ratified here. The ratification ended the Anglo Irish War, declared Ireland as a Free State and caused the Civil War.
In the 1990’s the Round Room and the Lord Mayors supper room was converted back to a fully functioning venue which we know today as part of the Conference Venue and Events Venue in Dublin.
The Mansion House itself is still home to the first citizen of Dublin, the Lord Mayor.
