Lusk Africa Day 2026 photos. A great day of celebration. Thanks to Fingal Inclusion and Community and to all our public representatives for all their support.

A very special thank you to everyone who supported Africa Day today and to our public representatives Mayor of Fingal, Tom O’Leary, Rob O’Donoghue T.D., Grace Boland T.D., Cllr Mark Boland and Senator Lorraine Clifford Lee. Mayor Tom O’Leary gave a powerful welcoming speech when he said “Africa is not just about celebrating heritage. It is about celebrating shared humanity. Lusk, Fingal and Ireland are stronger because of the people who have chosen to make their homes here.” Lusk Community Council wants to echo this message by showcasing the amazing talent and diversity in our community. Africa Day is an important showcase of inclusion in our town and we wish to acknowledge the support of Fingal Inclusion and Fingal Community Department.

Fingal Food Heritage-Oral History Project
For centuries, Fingal has been the most important food-producing area in Ireland. Fingal Heritage, in partnership with the National Folklore Collection at UCD, is launching a study into a major oral history of this essential aspect of our collective heritage.

Stories can be your own, or memories handed down in families and communities. We are especially interested in hearing stories that are not always captured, such as accounts of small, home-based businesses and family life. So, if you were growing or harvesting, gathering or foraging, hunting or fishing, jam-making or egg selling, going to market or greengrocering, please get in touch!

If you are interested in participating in this project, or would like to recommend someone you know, please get in touch at [email protected] to provide your contact details. Our lead researcher, Dr Deirdre Nuttall (pictured) will contact you to arrange an interview.
