Fingal County Council launched the new Community Climate Action Programme on Wednesday 6th of December 2023.

Fingal Libraries has announced a book gifting programme to local schools as part of the Community Recognition Fund.

Working closely with the research gathered from Fingal’s commemorative timeline Sophie weaves a narrative between the mothers and their soldier sons during this period of unrest where she compares this to the myth of Mechi a mostly forgotten tale in Irish Mythology. 

Healthy Fingal has organised the Woodlands for Health Programme in Newbridge Demesne to assist mental health service users in the Swords and Balbriggan areas.

Atsushi Kaga’s public art project as part of Skerries Art Trail is called Departing. The artwork is made of small, discreet bronze cast sculptures, sitting on the armrest of a seafront bench in Skerries.

Bennie Reilly’s project is made of over 40 small objects collected on Skerries Strand and cast in bronze. While beachcombing in Skerries, the artist gathered a collection of small treasures, ranging from natural items like seashells and pinecones, to washed-up objects such as small beach toys.

The artwork combines a carefully selected piece of sandstone with a hand painted finish, along with bronze cast elements. Liliane’s artwork is a hybrid of three main characters – the human, the seagull and the vending machine.

Marie Farrington’s artwork takes the familiar shape of the handrail and is made using sand collected from the nearby Skerries South Beach, which is suspended in resin and combined with segments of handcrafted stainless steel.

Mary Conroy’s project sees a collection of life-size bronze cast dropped ice cream cones, or 99s, discreetly placed around Skerries harbour and surrounds.
