This application was submitted by Fingal County Council on behalf of the stores in Swords with the assistance of Ian Hunter, Centre Director, Pavilions Shopping Centre, Swords.
Mayor of Fingal Mary McCamley said: “Swords is a vibrant town with a varied selection of retail stores to choose from. It is great that Swords has done so well at its first attempt and we await with anticipation the results of the overall competition.”
