Help shape the future of the Rathmines Area
We are a group of residents from Balmoral, Fishing Point and Rathmines, who are working together to create a more sustainable Rathmines Area.
A strong, connected and resilient neighbourhood where we care for our natural, historic and cultural assets and enjoy a safe, active and friendly lifestyle.
Following the completion of a community survey in 2015, and community workshop in April 2016, we have now completed our Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan (SNAP).
We are working on a number of community projects, including reducing litter in Rathmines Park, and establishing a community garden. Join us
