Fingal County Council lights up six buildings for Shine Your Light

The buildings lit up included four heritage properties – Swords Castle, Bremore Castle, Ardgillan Castle and the Casino in Malahide – as well as County Hall in Swords and the Civic Offices in Blanchardstown.

Fingal County Council lit up six iconic buildings across the county as part of the national initiative to shine a light for all the sick, frontline workers and anyone affected by Covid-19.

The buildings lit up included four heritage properties – Swords Castle, Bremore Castle, Ardgillan Castle and the Casino in Malahide – as well as County Hall in Swords and the Civic Offices in Blanchardstown.

The Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Eoghan O’Brien, who attended the lighting up of Swords Castle along with the Director of Economic Enterprise and Tourism Development, Emer O’Gorman, and members of Fingal County Council’s Emergency Management Unit, praised the initiative.

“I think the idea of shining a light for everybody affected by the Covid-19 pandemic is an excellent idea and it sends out the message that across Fingal and across Ireland we are all united in the fight against this virus,” said the Mayor.
