National Heritage Week 2022 will celebrate all things heritage from Saturday, 13th August to Sunday, 21st August 2022 and there will be plenty happening in Fingal.

Ongoing elevated bacterial results (E.coli and Enterococci) have been found from seawater sampling since 25th July, 2022 at Front Strand, Balbriggan.

Front strand beach in Balbriggan has met the standard for "good" water quality and as a result the prohibition (do not swim) notice has been lifted.

Gone are the days of inadequately treated wastewater from the coastal village of Loughshinny being discharged into the Irish Sea.  New wastewater infrastructure for the north Dublin village is not only protecting bathing water quality but it will facilitate future growth of the area.
