    This important legislation strengthens the framework for preventing and controlling air pollution, enhances protections for public health and the environment, and reinforces our commitment to ensuring cleaner air and a healthier, more sustainable future for the next generations.

    Good news for Swords with a further €20 million secured for the Fosterstown Link Road project. This investment will support key infrastructure upgrades, improve capacity in the area and help unlock the delivery of new homes. A significant step for Swords and the Dublin region.
