East Meath is the coastal part of Meath that stretches to the Irish Sea. The principal features of this area are the M1 motorway and the railway line which both connect Dublin to Belfast, the two largest conurbations in Ireland.

The administrative centre of this area is the town of Duleek and it also includes the picturesque villages of Donore, Julianstown, Gormanstown and Stamullen which adjoin the motorway.  Along the attractive sandy coastline lie the villages of Laytown and Bettystown.

This area has seen an expansion in its population which now stands at over 33,000 and growing. In addition, it has a significant population of nearly 1.5 million people within a catchment area of a 45 minute drive time.

East Meath is situated on one of the principal arterial motorways to Dublin the M1, which links to the M50, the Dublin Orbital Motorway at 21 minutes and at 27 minutes to Dublin Airport.

Testimonial

The Coca-Cola Company

“The Coca-Cola brand has been in Ireland for more than half a century and our long history here gives us continued confidence in the strength of the Irish workforce, the commitment of the Irish government and the know-how of Irish people to support our business.”

Vending Services

“The Move to City North at junction 7 off the M1 Motorway, has allowed us to centralize our administrative and warehouse function in one central location from which we can provide first class service to all our customers on the island of Ireland… We made this decision primarily as a result of the ease of access to the motorway network”
