フィンガルは、1994年にダブリン県が分割された3つの市の1つである。主な町は、ソーズとブランチャーズタウンであり、小さな町にはバルブリガンとマラハイドがある。広大な住宅地のある郊外の村には、バルドイル、キャッスルノック、ホウス(およびサットン)、ラスク、ポートマーノック、スケリーズなどがある[2]。北部と西部に小さな田舎の集落が存在する。フィンガルのモットーは「土地と水の豊かさ(アイルランド語: Flúirse Talaimh is Mara)」であり、歴史的にこの地域の農業と漁業の強い結びつきを反映している。また、ヴァイキングのロングボートを備えており、北欧がフィンガルに到着したことを表しており、既存のアイルランドと統合された。フィンガルは、北にミーズ県、西にキルデア県、南にダブリン市と隣接している。
