Five projects to enhance local amenities and create more opportunities for people to enjoy the outdoors will be undertaken in Fingal thanks to the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme  

This exciting programme is designed to offer a holistic filmmaking education that addresses both technical skills and the nuanced approach needed when working with actors, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), fostering an environment of creativity and collaboration. 

This project aims to preserve and elevate Fingal’s rich textile manufacturing legacy through a collaborative arts and local heritage initiative. A group of artists will create original artworks inspired by the area's history, and also a number of unique artefacts originating from the Smyth & Co. hosiery factory, formerly based in Balbriggan. These artefacts serve as direct witnesses to Balbriggan's vibrant social history spanning two centuries, from 1780 to 1980.  

The results of the sample taken on 13/8/25 at Rush South and Portrane beaches have been received and both have met the “excellent” water quality standard.

The finalists for Blas na hÉireann, The Irish Food Awards 2025, have been announced, with 61 exceptional producers from Co. Dublin making it through to the final stage of Ireland’s most prestigious food awards

In this new collaboration with Fingal County Council and supported by Creative Ireland, Festival in a Van gets on the road again this June for a six-day tour called Sounds Like Summer: Fingal Festival in a Van, to celebrate this year’s summer solstice and create some sunny joy with local communities in the area – bringing music, spoken word, and dance to every corner of Fingal. Taking place over six days during the last two weekends of June, this tour is a free, open-air, open-to-all celebration of Fingal’s community spirit and creativity.
