Through the Local Environment Action Fund (LEAF) 2026, communities across Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown are bringing local climate action projects to life.

Projects supported this year include:
• Airfield Estate Community Garden – installing a rainwater harvesting system
• Avondale Residents Association – creating a community orchard
• Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Volunteer Centre – delivering a citizen science project with biodiversity and water monitoring kits
• Green Ocean Foundation – supporting oyster restoration and marine education
• SAGE (Shankill Action for a Green Earth) – developing a pocket forest at St. Anne’s Resource Centre
• Stillorgan Tidy Towns – running biodiversity, composting and rainwater planter initiatives.

🚫🔥 Important Safety Notice: Disposable BBQs 🔥🚫

For everyone’s safety, please do NOT bring disposable BBQs to the beach.

We've had dangerous incidents where hot BBQs were:

• Buried in the sand
• Thrown in bins

These actions create serious fire hazards and risk injury.

✅ Let’s keep our beaches safe for all — leave disposable BBQs at home.

🚫🔥 Fógra Sábháilteachta Tábhachtach: BBQanna Indiúscartha🔥🚫

Ar mhaithe le sábháilteacht gach duine, NÁ tabhair BBQs indiúscartha chuig an trá le do thoil.

Bhí eachtraí contúirteacha againn nuair a bhí BBQs te:

• Curtha sa ghaineamh
• Caitheadh isteach i mboscaí bruscair

Cruthaíonn na gníomhartha seo guaiseacha dóiteáin tromchúiseacha agus baol díobhála.

Stunning sunrise over the West Pier

Some mornings, Dún Laoghaire really does put on a show. The calm waters, golden skies and iconic harbour views make for a picture-perfect start to the day.
