The Government’s Transport 21 Programme,
announced late last year, will provide Swords with a
first class public transport system with the Metro linking
Swords with the City centre via Dublin Airport. The
advent of the Swords Metro Line will bring increased
opportunities for economic activity in the area and
the Chamber is lobbying hard to have work started as
soon as possible on the metro.
Dublin Airport is the largest single economic unit
not only in Fingal but in the country as a whole and
currently facilitates over 18 million passengers and
over 150,000 tonnes of cargo annually. It provides over
12,000 jobs directly at present and Fingal Dublin Chamber
fully supports the proposed development of Dublin Airport
to ensure that it can cater with the projected growth
in passenger numbers over the coming years.
We will continue to drive the business agenda and grow
our membership over the coming year.
