The flourishing flavours of Fingal

IT IS a hub of commerce, bureaucracy, and social activity befitting one of Europe’s most exciting capitals.

But what is lesser known is the work carried out daily by 600 farmers a mere 15-minute journey from Dublin’s GPO.

Cows are milked, beef cattle produced, vegetables grown, tillage crops harvested, and sheep raised in the fertile fields of Fingal, a county since 1994 with a current population of almost 274,000 people.
