Irish Water, working in partnership with Fingal County Council, is starting work on the Loughshinny wastewater project next week.

The delivery of this project will provide wastewater services that meet the needs of both domestic and commercial customers in Loughshinny and the surrounding area while also providing some capacity for future growth of the village in line with the Fingal Development Plan 2017-2023.
