Rush has been a part of the Fingal administrative area Low Smoke Zone since 31 August 2012. The ban on the sale, marketing, distribution and burning of bituminous coal in that area is contained in S.I. 326 of 2012.From 1 September 2020, I added twelve new Low Smoke Zones, and expanded the Cork Low Smoke Zone to cover Carrigtwohill and its environs. There are now 38 Low Smoke Zones in effect across the State, effectively covering all towns with populations in excess of 10,000 people.
