| Welcome to the town of Balbriggan. Photos, News and History. Updated daily. Balbriggan, Baile Brigín, meaning Town of the Small Hills, is currently going through a huge development stage with literally thousands of houses being built at the northern end of the town. Plans are well advanced to develop the Harbour area also. The aim of this site is to inform those interested in the town and to help bring about a community spirit. We understand that feelings run high about certain issues of late but these are outside the scope of this site. |

| On our "Photos" page we have images from all over the town, recent and not so recent. Photos are a big part of our site and we are constantly adding new ones. When you click the Photos button you will be given a choice of different categories from which to choose. A lot of the photos are by the site team Jack Benton, Joe Curtis, Martin Fanning and Tony Healy. |

| Not all the photographs
are available through the "Photos" button, but are accessed
through the "News" page. On our "Business"
page we try to list the main businesses in the town, the like
of Wavin and Sonopress. Also on this page will be news on new
employment opportunities coming to the town, for example the new
passport office which is currently under construction. Our "History"page
is really self explanatory, from the earliest mention of Balbriggan
to the businesses that created much needed employment in years
gone by. Also on this page is a virtual walk of the town with
photos to help get a sense of what's been discussed. Trevor Sargent
gives a detailed description of St.
Georges Church & School. We also have a feature
on Tommy Monaghan,
local playwright on this page. Smyth
& Co, Balbriggan 1780-1980, we take an in dept
look at this famous company, their garments were so good that
Queen Victoria used to wear them. |

schools web sites etc. |
