Extended Hours for Estuary Recycling Centre Swords


Greater Dublin Drainage – All Submissions Considered


The Greater Dublin Drainage Project Team is busy considering all public and stakeholder submissions after the most recent round of non-statutory public consultation. The Greater Dublin Drainage project plans to develop a new wastewater treatment plant, orbital sewer and marine outfall to protect the environment and secure the future economic, commercial, industrial and residential needs of the Greater Dublin Area after 2020. The new plant will be developed in phases and will operate along with the Ringsend regional wastewater treatment works although it will be one sixth of the size of the Ringsend plant.


The next announcement on the project will happen in early summer when a shortlist of preferred potential sites will be announced for further public consultation.

What Do YOU Think of Your Parks and Heritage Properties?


To help us improve your enjoyment of Fingal’s wonderful Parks and Heritage properties, Fingal County Council wants you to tell us what you think of them.


Fingal residents have set a national example for recycling and so Fingal County Council is delighted to announce the extended opening hours of Estuary Recycling Centre.


From Thursday 8th March, opening hours will be Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday 8am to 6pm. The extended opening hours are possible due to the redeployment of staff from the Fingal County Council waste collection service which recently ended.
