Fingal County Council has launched public consultations on two exciting proposed public play spaces in the Dublin 15 area. These projects represent a major step forward in creating inclusive, imaginative, and nature-rich recreational environments for local communities for years to come.

Following a review of the latest weather forecasts, which indicate significant rainfall during the early hours of Monday August 4th, a Prior Warning sign will be placed at Fingal beaches, from Balbriggan to Claremont (Howth), including Malahide with effect from Sunday 3rd August 2025.
