In collaboration with Fingal County Council, Swim Ireland announce the first destination in the country for the installation of its Indoor Portable Swimming Pool.
Located on the grounds of Donabate Portrane Community Centre, the fully heated Pool in a structured marquee will be able to accommodate up to 16 children at a time.
The pool which will be in place initially for 12 weeks from early May 2022 will be managed and staffed by Swim Ireland with opening & closing times in tandem with the Centre. Swim Ireland were inspired by a very similar initiative in the United Kingdom.
the Management & Board of Donabate Portrane Community Centre are appreciative to all those who worked on this project -Community Dept. Fingal County Council, Swim Ireland.

Hello, how are you? – Thrive Mental Health Campaign
Flemington Community Centre was host to a successful launch day facilitated by Mental Health Ireland with a simple message: “Hello, how are you?”.
The coffee morning in Balbriggan was held as part of the Thrive Mental Health campaign and attended by Fingal Mayor Seána Ó Rodaigh and several local services.
The international initiative is built on the premise that good mental health can only be achieved through broadly based activities which seeks to embrace and protect the mental health of a whole community. It aims to build an understanding and awareness of mental health and wellbeing by reducing stigma.
