Civil records - births, marriages and deaths – are the easiest of all records to find and to interpret. They’re the building blocks of your family history, often the first records you will use in research.

Over time we all accumulate documents, letters, photos – the detritus of everyday life. There’s probably a lot of evidence in your own home that can be used in your family history.

Sustainable communities are economically, environmentally, and socially healthy and resilient.

Recreation, leisure and sports activities play an important role in our lives and in strengthening local communities. 

Tourism has traditionally been an important indigenous sector in Fingal, in terms of generating revenue and employment. 

Given the historic reliance on Dublin Airport for employment opportunities and relatively young population, it is important that Swords and particularly the town centre is promoted as a leading place to work and live as part of Sustainable Swords in order to optimise liveability.

All buildings have a value – even of only as embodied energy and through this asset all buildings have potential; that can be realised by imagination, coupled with the setting of high design standards.

This project will facilitate a sustainable approach to development and placemaking in Swords by drawing on the local context and facilitating nature-based solutions that would improve the public realm.
