  • 1.1 Employment Sectors
    1.1 EMPLOYMENT SECTORS To realise the economic potential of the Gateway and identified strategic employment centres, the RPGs indicates that sectoral strengths need be developed and promoted. In this regard, a number of thematic development areas have been identified, the core of which are pivoted around the main growth settlements. Food, Tourism, Services, Manufacturing and Agriculture appear as the primary sectors being proffered for Meath noting that Life Sciences, ICT and Services are proffered along the M4 corridor to the south and Aviation and Logistics to the M1 Corridor to the east. However, Ireland’s top 2 exports in 2010, medical and pharmaceutical products and organic chemicals, accounted for 59% of merchandise exports by commodity group. It is considered, for example, that Navan should be promoted for medical products noting the success of Welch Allyn in particular. An analysis has been carried out by the Planning Department which examined the individual employment sectors which are presently in the county and identified certain sectoral convergences (Appendix A). This basis of this analysis was the 2011 commercial rates levied against individual premises (top 120 rated commercial premises). The analysis excluded hotels, retail, public utilities public administration (Meath County Council, OPW Trim and other decentralized Government Departments) along with the HSE NE, which includes Navan Hospital. The findings of this analysis were as follows: • Financial Services – Navan & Drogheda (essentially IDA Business Parks & Southgate Centre). • Industrial Offices / Call Centres / Headquarters – Navan, Bracetown (Clonee) & Duleek. • Food and Meath Processing – Navan, Clonee and various rural locations throughout county. • Manufacturing – Oldcastle and Kells would have a particular concentrations noting that a number of those with addresses in Oldcastle are in the surrounding rural area.

  • Discover Boyne Valley 2021-2022 Birthplace of Ireland’S Ancient East
    FREE HOLIDAY GUIDE & MAP Discover Boyne Valley 2021-2022 Birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East discoverboynevalley.ie “The Boyne is not a showy river. It rises in County Kildare and flows gently and majestically through County Meath and joins the sea at Drogheda in County Louth some 112 kilometres later. It has none of the razzmatazz of its sister, the Shannon. It’s neither the longest river in Ireland, nor does it have the greatest flow. What is does have, and by the gallon, is history. In fact, the Boyne Valley is like a time capsule. Travel along it and you travel through millennia of Irish history, from passage tombs that pre-date the Pyramids, to the Hill of Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland, all the way to the home of the First World War poet Francis Ledwidge in Slane. It’s the Irish equivalent of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. And you can choose to explore it by car, bicycle, kayak, or by strolling along its banks and the towpaths of the navigation canals that run alongside from Navan to Oldbridge.” Frances Power - Editor, Cara, the Aer Lingus inflight magazine - Boyne Valley Feature, October/November 2014 Pg 68-78 Cara magazine is available online at issuu.com discoverboynevalley.ie Angling 12 Contents The Boyne River 01 Angling 12 Halloween in the Boyne Valley 25 Discover Boyne Valley Flavours 41 Ireland’s Ancient East 03 Horse Racing 13 Easy Access 26 Eating Out 43 Outdoor Activities 05 Golf 15 Where is the Boyne Valley 27 Gastro Pubs and Bars 46 Royal Canal Greenway 06 Adventures & Activities 17 Boyne Valley Drive 29 Craft Distilling & Brewing 48 Walking, Cycling & Paddling 07 Organised and Guided Tours 19 Boyne Valley Drive Sites 31 Where to Stay 49 Boyne Valley Gardens 09 Music, Arts & Culture 21 Towns & Villages 33 The Coast 11 Crafts 23 Itineraries 37 Photography courtesy of: copterview.ie, tel 086 8672339; jennymatthewsphotography.com, tel 087 2451184; perfectstills.com, tel 086 1740454; and irelandscontentpool.com 01 02 Melifont Abbey Knowth, Brú na Bóinne To tell the story of Ireland’s Ancient East we must start at the beginning..

However the collection also includes one seventeenth-century return (D7/1/1A). As a result of the cataloguing process on the diocesan material carried out in the RCB Library, it was discovered to be in Marsh's Library, Dublin, where it had been transferred for safe keeping until reclaimed.

  • Appendix 9 Acas
    A9 – Architectural Conservation Areas Ardbraccan Demesne Architectural Conservation Area Historical Development Ardbraccan House and demesne occupy an historically important site as it has been the seat of the Bishops of Meath since the fourteenth century. The house is set in mature pasture land with formal and walled gardens. The construction of the house commenced c. 1734 to the designs of Richard Castle and was completed in the 1770’s to the designs of James Wyatt, Thomas Cooley and the Rev. Daniel Beaufort. Built Form The domestic and agricultural outbuildings associated with Ardbraccan House display an exceptionally high level of architectural design. These include piggeries, granary, dovecotes, bell tower, bullock sheds, carriage house, fowl yards, laundry yard, pump yard, slaughter house, vaulted stables, and clock tower. The Demesne structures include the gate lodges, entrance gates and walls, ha-ha, eel pond, ice house, vineries, grotto, and water pump. The detached two-storey four-bay house, possibly the farm manager’s house, was built c.1820, of randomly coursed limestone with roughcast render and raised rendered quoins. The particular interest of this building is in its relationship with the single-storey cottages to the immediate north. Within the demesne are other structures – St Ultan’s Church and graveyard, Infant school, dated 1856, and holy well. Objectives: 1. To preserve the character of the demesne, its designed landscape and built features by limiting the extent of new development permitted within the demesne and requiring that any such development respect the setting and special qualities of the demesne. 2. To require that all works, whether of maintenance and repair, additions or alterations to existing buildings or built features within the demesne shall protect the character of those buildings and features by the use of appropriate materials and workmanship.
