We're hearing reports that the meeting is under way between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the US president's son-in-law and adviser.
For the closing remarks of his speech, Zelensky was met with a standing ovation.
"Never lose faith in Ukraine, thank you, thank you Ireland, glory to Ukraine," he says.
President Zelensky also calls for continued advocacy in relation to sanctions on Russia.
He appeals for everyone to help with the return "all the prisoners still held in Russian jails and camps" since Russia "occupied our Crimea".
He says it has gone on "far too long" to "close the page on Russia without a just peace".
He urged Ireland to call for the children who have been abducted by Russia to be returned.
"When the most powerful apply pressure the global community helps apply that pressure in the right direction," he says.
He says Ukraine wants to stand together with those whose history and struggle "reflect our own" and wants to stand alongside Ireland in the EU "as equals".
"Just as there is no capital in the world that is not aware what St Patrick's day is... There should be no capital that does not know that the Irish, together with the Ukrainians and many other nations, are united for a real peace.
"A peace without humiliation and based on something truly real."
President Zelensky says all the pressure on Russia must remain in place so that Russia does not believe it will be rewarded with "stolen land".
"Please continue to support all efforts to make the tribunal for Russia's aggression a reality, so that one day it truly begins its work so that Russian killers cannot freely travel the world as if they have done nothing wrong."
President Zelensky says "it is a great honour" to address a country that "understands the price of freedom".
"Ireland is doing so much to help others understand how important it is.
"We will continue to co-ordinate with you."
Zelensky aims not just for "silence instead of bombs," or "clear skies instead of Russia's missiles".
He instead advocates for "lasting peace, guaranteed security and true justice."
President Zelensky says Ukraine is fighting for every voice in the world and for every community in every region.
"We are trying to reach every part, to answer every doubt," he adds.
"To counter every accusation with facts."

But in this restoration of justice to "defend what's right", he urges the need for a community of different nations with shared sentiments, aspirations, and desire for justice.
"A community of nations that makes peace truly lasting," he added.
President Zelensky said his team delivered a briefing this morning on the peace negotiations.
He says the team is looking ahead to important meetings.
He says the "whole world must seize this chance" and Ukraine "wants peace".
Zelensky continued: "Ukrainian and Irish people are among the few in Europe who spent centuries fighting for the right to remain themselves.
"Ireland has stood firmly and clearly for our independence and for a just end to this war so thank you for your steadfast support for these years of standing with us, and thank you for not losing faith in us."
President Zelensky is now speaking and he begins by thanking Ireland for providing his people with a home "when they needed it most once the war broke out back home."
He also addresses the feeling of growing fatigue about news of the war in Ukraine, and how Ireland remains vocal in their support.
The speaker went on to say the international community must "demand accountability for war crimes".
She says that despite Ireland's status as a military neutral country, "Ireland is not, and will never be, morally neutral in the face of atrocity".
Murphy reassures Zelensky that Ireland is commitment to peace, "not indifference".

She says the Ukrainian president can find "hope" that peace may be achieved, by drawing comparison between the conflict in Ireland, which ended almost 30 years ago, and what Ukraine is currently experiencing.
She refers to The Good Friday Agreement and says it "was born from decades of pain and division, yet it proved that even the deepest wounds can heal when people choose negotiation over violence".
That lesson she says "gives us hope for Ukraine".
