Malahide demonstrated that it is one of the top towns in the country, after it was ranked eighth in a list of 100 best towns and cities in Ireland in a survey by Retail Excellence Ireland. While Westport was crowned Ireland’s best town, Malahide followed in eighth place on the prestigious list, and was the secondhighest ranking town to come from
2012
the Dublin region. Local councillor Anthony Lavin (FG) said he was “delighted” with the result. “It gives me confidence that [local businesses] will be able to keep going and will continue to improve and when, eventually, the castle development and the casino development are completed in Malahide, it should hopefully bring more customers and more opportunities to retailers.” Full Story on Page 8
