The Swords Parish Council was formed in 2005 following a series of general meetings, education sessions, and workshops. The Parish council went through a renewal process in 2008 with three members stepping down and four new people joining.
Through this formation process a future vision for the parish was developed, and a strategic plan launched. There are now 14 members on the Parish Council with 7 subgroups.
The sub-committees each focus on specific aspects of the strategy, and they take guiding direction from the council. The seven sub-groups focus on the following strategic imperatives:
- Community
- Liturgy
- Development
- Communications
- Drynam
- Finance
