Policy Hub

The policy hub aims to support and guide linkage groups and their reps in building their capacity in how they engage with their relevant committees and assist in impacting the decision making processes in Fingal.

What is the Fingal Public Participation Network?

Fingal Public Participation Network (PPN) is a network of community, voluntary, social inclusion and environmental organisations, working to build a better county for the community of Fingal.

Fingal PPN has almost 600 members and includes community-based groups, organisations, associations, clubs, societies and charities. Our members are based across Fingal in places such as Blanchardstown, Swords, Balbriggan, Lusk, Rush, Malahide, Howth and more.

We work to empower the community to be represented in decision making processes that impact citizens through representation on Council committees, consultation processes, policy submissions and more.

As a PPN, we provide space for community groups to grow and develop through our training supports. We also act as an information hub, keeping the community informed of relevant local issues, news, events, resources and supports.
