Welcome

Our village possesses a unique charm, where the echoes of history resonate from the ancient church tower and the beautifully restored Heritage Centre, fostering a deep sense of place. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the Dublin countryside, we enjoy a peaceful rhythm of life, a welcome sanctuary from the outside world. Yet, we're also incredibly fortunate to have easy access to the conveniences and opportunities of nearby urban centers. The strong community bonds we share, the friendly faces you encounter around the village, and the pride in our local heritage create an environment that feels both grounding and enriching. To be part of this tapestry of history, nature, and community in Balrothery is indeed a special privilege. 

Latest Meeting/Event Information

Balrothery Pride of Place Competition

The Pride of Place Judging Day was 25th August and it has taken a few weeks to digest the whole experience.

I am happy to say that the planning and participation of the residents, clubs, local groups, volunteers, schoolchildren and local businesses helped to make the day a complete success.

The Mayor of Fingal, Tony Murphy and Chief Executive AnnMarie Farrelly, Councillors, TD's and Fingal County County Council staff attended the Presentation to start the day. The two judges were then taken on a tour of the Heritage sites then onto Glebe Park and other places of interest in the village, they met many of the children and adults who live here, finishing in the Balrothery Inn for lunch.

On behalf of Balrothery Community Association and the Tidy Village Group I wish to thank my fellow committee members, all of the groups and residents who helped to make the day a very enjoyable event. A word of thanks to Ralph Costigan and Nuala Smith from Community Development & Inclusion and Michael Hackett and Sara Brady from Operations Department Fingal County Council who gave us all the support we asked for, also to Brendan and staff in Balrothery Inn who looked after us with a delicious lunch.

We will have to wait until Saturday 24th October to hear how we did in our category which was Small Towns between 2,000 and 5,000 in population. The event will be held in The Convention Centre in Dublin.
