Fingal is amongst the most diverse and dynamically growing populations in Ireland, it is imperative that Fingal County Council is committed to social integration and enhancing the quality of life for all the residents as it continues to grow.
The goals are to support and provide resources to citizens who have experience barriers that lead to social exclusions and to promote an understanding of inclusion in Fingal and celebrate diversity across the county.
The appointed Integration Officers works with other Fingal County Council departments and the Fingal Public Participation Network (PPN) to implement the Fingal Migrant Integration and Social Cohesion Strategy Action Plan 2019-2024 and supporting the development of the Fingal Integration Forum.
The ambition is to ensure we meet the needs of the diverse population and contribute to making Fingal a place where all who live, work and visit are valued.
