LEO Fingal has confirmed that Ciaran Brennan from Ground Up Software Ltd. T/A “Livecosts.com” in Blanchardstown has clinched a place in the national final of Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur competition.

The Phoenix Park, part of which lies within Fingal, is the largest enclosed public park in any capital city in Europe.

The Fingal Fieldnames Project, now in its second year, focuses on empowering communities to ensure the survival of a vital part of our heritage and culture. It aims to help participants record, log and understand fieldnames in their area.

The Annual IPB Pride of Place competition is about to kick off in earnest and Fingal will be represented this year by the communities of Whitestown in Dublin15 and Flemington in Balbriggan, and the Hide Sculpture project at Rogerstown in North County Dublin.

The Urban Food and Craft Market began last week in St. Catherine’s Park, Lucan, and will run every Sunday from 10am – 5pm now until October. 

The Dublin Plein Air Painting Festival is supported by Fingal County Council and will bring art to all corners of the county with Farmleigh House, Swords Castle, Skerries Harbour, Malahide Castle & Gardens, The 12th Lock Royal Canal, Donabate Beach and Balbriggan Harbour being the venues for this year’s event.

There is good news for Fingal in the latest Irish Business against Litter (IBAL) results as Dublin Airport & Environs and Swords are featured in the top 20 in the list and both are deemed "Clean to European Norms".   Dublin Airport Environs achieved 15th place and Swords 18th place. Litter levels were assessed in 40 towns and cities across the country by An Taisce, who found 31 of them or 77% to be clean which was very positive news for tourism and local communities alike.
