The Irish Council of State met on 28th October, 1999 to advise President Mary McAleese on whether or not to deliver an address to the Houses of the Oireachtas on the subject of the new millennium. The proposal to deliver the speech was not a controversial one but the meeting had to be held because the constitution requires that the president consult the Council of State before delivering any address to the legislature. Following the meeting the president gave the address to a joint sitting of both Houses of the Oireachtas on 16th December, 1999.
