    Eddie Rockets and McDonalds are walkable distances to both the Christian Bros and the other secondary school at the end of the town.

    Are there any fast food places beside schools in Swords? I don't think there are.

    Fingal Community College around the corner from Burger King in the Applegreen Station.

    They aren't that close. I think if you're worried about what your kids are eating at school, don't give them money and send them in with a decent packed lunch.

    I do agree that the amount of fast food places in Swords are ridiculous, we could really do with a health/niche food store/cafe.

    ??

    290 metres - 3 mins walk according to Google. I'd call that pretty close:)

    Maybe. I still think it is up to parents to look after their kid's diet, not businesses.

    My daughters went to both primary and secondary school within sniffing distance of a takeaway and didn't eat there for lunch or after school. And if you're in the Pavilions when the Bros are on lunch you'll see most of the lads go for Subway or a wrap from Dunnes/Supervalu.
    Personally, I love having a great selection of takeaways in Swords. When we moved here there was one Chinese, one pizza place at JC's, and the Fingal Cafe chipper. We have it all now - and let's not forget the employment they've brought to the town.
