The Steward's Lodge is a house which was originally part of the Farmleigh estate, alongside the Phoenix Park in Dublin.

The Steward's Lodge was originally built in the grounds of Farmleigh house – an 18th-century estate which was formerly owned by members of the Guinness family.

In the 1970s, plans were made to turn the former Apostolic Nunciature (formerly the Under Secretary's Lodge) in the Phoenix Park into an official residence.

[7][8] Former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar resided in his private apartment in Castleknock,[9] but used the Lodge for occasional parties at his own expense.
