Four Fingal local writers - Teri Donaghy, Fiona McKay, Elaine Maguire O’Connor and Rebecca D’Arcy - have been chosen for the Irish Writers Centre’s prestigious National Mentoring Programme 2025.

Ireland’s largest county show is set to get underway once again, bursting full of exciting new sights, sounds and tastes to suit all ages. Now in its 13th year, Flavours of Fingal returns to the beautiful grounds of Newbridge House and Farm in Donabate for a weekend full of excitement.

Award-winning Dublin author Christine Dwyer-Hickey will sit down with comedian and television personality Kathryn Lynch to discuss her work in this fun and friendly conversation.

In support of local environmental efforts, Fingal County Council, in partnership with concert promoters MCD Productions and Festival Republic, alongside HEINEKEN Ireland are introducing new sustainability initiatives during the 2025 concert season. 

Dr. Katriona O’Sullivan will sit down with Clodagh Culligan, Deputy Principal of Balbriggan Community College, to discuss the book, writing and the transformative power of education.
