A new tidal pool is on the cards for Balbriggan beach after Fingal County Council announced €50,000 has been allocated to carry out a feasibility study.
The project is part of €150,000 in funding that has been granted to Fingal by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys. It is covered under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme, which provides funding for the development of infrastructure for outdoor recreation to promote healthy lifestyles and adventure tourism throughout rural Ireland.
€50,000 has also been allocated for a feasibility study for universal access of the secluded Balscadden Beach in Howth, while €28,800 has been granted for the provision of new off-road waypoints on Balbriggan's historical walking trail.
