The Minister for Finance, Jack Chambers TD, joined the Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Brian McDonagh and Fingal’s Chief Executive AnnMarie Farrelly in September to launch ‘Future Fingal: An Economic Development Strategy’ in Blanchardstown, attended by business representatives, councillors and Oireachtas members.
The strategic document is designed to ensure the long-term economic resilience and sustainability of the county and position Fingal County Council as a key driver of growth in Ireland. The new strategy emphasises a balanced approach to economic development, leveraging Fingal’s strategic advantages and focusing on sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience.
The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Brian McDonagh, said: “Fingal is a place where innovation and opportunity meet. Through our Economic Development Strategy, we are committed to ensuring that Fingal continues to be an exceptional place to work and do business. This strategy is not just a plan; it is our ambitious vision for the future of Fingal. Our aim is to lead by example by being both practical and forward-thinking.”
Prepared by Fingal County Council’s Economic Unit and Grant Thornton, the strategy aims to support business in Fingal to grow and thrive in a sustainable way, with a strong emphasis on working with business to implement sustainable business practices, aligning with best European and global practices, and working in parallel with the Council’s Climate Change Action Plan.
