Leinster House is open Monday to Friday. Members of the public may visit on official business or by guided tour.
Information for visitors
All visitors must enter through the visitors' entrance on Kildare Street beside the National Museum of Archaeology.
Please…
- Bring photo ID, such as a passport or driving licence
- Arrive at the Kildare Street gate 15 minutes before your appointment or tour
- Avoid bringing large bags

Enhanced security arrangements
Please allow a little extra time when you visit Leinster House while we introduce enhanced security at our visitors’ entrance on Kildare Street. All visitors who do not hold a valid Oireachtas passcard will now be asked to walk through a metal detector and we will pass bags through an x-ray.
We hope not to inconvenience our visitors while we adjust to the new measures, and you can help by arriving in good time and leaving bulky bags at home.
