Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1982.
The arms are divided into three sections by gold lines. The red centre section contains on top, two pipes crossed to symbolise the major town industry of Wavin Pipes while the water wheel at the bottom represents the energy source which helped to give Balbriggan its industrial base. The spindle on the left and the fish on the right on a green background represent the textile and fishing industries, also sources of wealth for Balbriggan.
The motto means People before Leaders.
