The Restoration of St. Werburgh’s Well
A management plan for St Werburghs Well was a pre-condition by Fingal County Council of them awarding planning permission to Ryanair to build a car park.
As of yet a proper public right of way for access to the Well has not been put in place. Swords Tidy Towns is working with Cllr Joe Newman to have this right of way introduced either by FCC or Ryanair.
The Well has been deleted from the record of Protected Structures by FCC, it was first given protection under the 1993 Dublin County Development Plan.

St Werburgs Well is a natural spring Holy Well and predates the 1700’s.
Following on from my extensive enquiries as Chairman of Swords Tidy Towns I have linked up with the Construction Manager of Ryanair who has agreed a budget with me for €5000 to carry out the necessary work required.
