With the local elections taking place on the 7th of June, it’s important as a community we use our vote to protect our precious Greenbelt.

Councillor Support

5 of the 7 Swords Councillors actively supported the campaign to save the Greenbelt (see image above).

In addition, the vast majority of people in Swords supported saving the Greenbelt and opposed rezoning.

Despite this, Cllr. Brigid Manton (Fianna Fail) and Cllr. Darragh Butler (Fianna Fail) put forward motions calling for two Greenbelts to be rezoned (Rivervalley, Ridgewood, Ashfield and Knocksedan Greenbelt and Uniplumo Greenbelt, Rathbeale Road).

Social Democrats (no Councillor in Swords) gave FULL SUPPORT to the campaign, as did Solidarity – People Before Profit (no Councillor in Swords).

Unfortunately, Fine Gael (no Councillor in Swords) provided NO SUPPORT to the campaign and have voted to rezone Greenbelts in the past.

Thank you.
