I don’t live in Ratoath or Ashbourne but this makes sense to me if they could bolt it onto the current plans. There is no way for a train to get into town via the Finglas route. It would have to fork via Dunboyne or east of the airport. This additional route would service Ratoath and Ashbourne future development but also serve Fairyhouse racecourse and Emerald park. Thoughts?

In Meath East Vote Helen McEntee 1, Thomas Byrne 2, Sharon Tolan 3, Caroline O’Reilly 4.

In Meath West Vote Linda Murray Nelson 1, Aisling Dempsey 2. Keep funding coming to Meath, vote for stability, vote ff and fg

Was on the bus (which was 10+ mins late) and I had to sprint across the road to a bus that was early. Hadn't that early driver waited, I'd have been stuck there for about 3½ hours.

Any complaints made about their services tends to go through one ear, out the other.

This is the second time I've had this happen too.

Any advice on what I should do, do I go to the NTA about it?

Hi there, long-time lurker here. I've been looking at buying a property in Ratoath in Woodlands Park, but I've been informed that there are noisy neighbours/bad neighbours there. Can anyone help provide me more information on this? We're buying a property for my mam and I don't want her to have horrible neighbours. Thanks!

Looking for some steer/advice please. Considering a move to Mornington (Donacarney Wood). Young family (1 and 3 year old)

Property is likely overpriced if I’m honest but everywhere seems to be experiencing this

Any advice on that area or surrounding towns?

Leaving Dublin and the constant rush, increase in antisocial behaviour and just looking for somewhere to raise a family with other like minded people just wanting their children to grow into decent humans

Thank you X

OMG I have never been this bored in my life, I moved to Navan 4 weeks ago and I still have not found anything entertaining to do! My weekends are so boring!! Please any recommendations will help. :)

How's things!

I haven't taken the bus to Dublin in 20 years, no idea what it's like now, is it cash only? What do I say to the bus driver when I get on, still "adult return to Dublin"? (Getting on in Trim) Does driver want exact change and does he take cash? I read that they don't take card yet!

Thanks in advance!!

My 21st is in a few months and I am a college student and all the pubs in my area want like 200 euro for me to put up some decorations and I am super broke. A few of my friends who aren’t in the county was able to do this for free in pubs because everyone is buying drinks. Does anyone know of any places ?

Looking to ditch Sky if possible, anyone got one of them there dodgy boxes? Asking for a dear close friend ...

Just looking for good things to do on the run up to Autumn. Coffees at hill of Tara can get repetitive and my imagination is worse than useless!

Hi, I am an international student moving to Navan, Meath for an internship. I am looking for a part time job as the internship is unpaid. Kindly let me know if there is anything available, I have exhausted Indeed and Linkedin.

I'm from navan and would if I go out it would usually be in Navan (odd time up to the big smoke). But for a change we went out for dinner in Trim. Obviously been in Trim alot but never out for a night. Have to say there was a couple of lovely pubs we went to after and they seem recently done up , pretty lively and that. Will defo be back for a good session. Even after the pub, it wasn't too late, the streets felt very safe. Didn't seem to be scumbags hanging around like usually in navan.

What can we do to get these subs more popular snd more useful

Hello,

I might be moving to Meath county in new year and I was wondering how job market looks like for foreigners. Is there any possibility to get “office” job while being foreign? If not office job even some blue collar job that needs some qualifications. I would appreciate any feedback 🙏🏻

Warning

Had two travellers in hivis jackets arrive at the house in a 90s? White SUV type car.

1st question, is your dad home

Well we are from the highway maintenance (shows a badge on his lanyard, picture of his face, and highway maintenance beside. No name, no company name, no serial number)

Says they have left over tar that's going to waste and offer to do driveway. I ask for business cards... Lol no cause they are going back home soon. Act nice and say it's only going to waste...

This is all in their car too, he wouldn't come up to the door (for fear of a doorbell camera I imagine) and parked a bit away.

Anyway after me politely declining, they kept looking at me as I took notice of their plates (UK reg started with Y) your one I was talking to leaned out of his window and in full traveller accent, "you dont look at my reg, dont take any pics ya hear me!"

Lol sure. "Highway maintenance" lol

Got bored one day in summer of last year (i think) and decided to remake the Meath flag, I only found it in my camera Rolfe yesterday and just discovered this sub 4 mins ago so I said why not and share this, I personally think it’s alright 7/10 but I can do better now

What’s going on? Is there a concert on or something?

What's the craic lads. Is it gone ? Haven't picked up the phone in a few weeks ?

Anyone from around Ashbourne/surrounding areas have any thoughts on this and how it may impact Ashbourne/the small surrounding villages? It seems there are about to set up a tent like camp with roughly 1000 people living in it.

Has anyone else actually got injured by these election sign posts? The signs are supposed to be at least a minimum of 2.2m high off the ground, not allowed on roundabouts or electrical poles. This is part of the Road Traffic Act 1961.

But how many of them do you see that break our Road traffic act? I see it in every town across Meath/Dublin ( I am based on Meath/Dublin boarder) but I know its everywhere and its shocking to see such disregard. Any blind person, or anyone in general can and have injured themselves on these illegal sign posts including my own brother( Sinn Fein poster below 2.2m scratched right across his arm, causing a nasty cut while out for a 10km run).

These candidates are looking to get into government and or some position of power - shouldn't they be following the rules of the Road Traffic Act also, like the rest of us.....? or does it just simply not matter because of who/what they are? Also to add- most of them are putting forth their views on climate change, be Eco friendly, make sure to recycle etc. etc. - all these cardboard/paper posters are tied with single use cable ties........ For the last 3-4 years they have also preached to the high heavens about public health and safety etc. the irony, total disregard and hypocrisy is incredible.

I have copied a snippet below from Dublin Council but both links Meath and Dublin council here to read for yourself -

https://www.meath.ie/system/files/media/file-uploads/2024-04/Election%20Posters.pdf

https://www.dublincity.ie/council/voting-and-elections/local-elections/election-postering

I have called many party headquarters to complain (Sinn Fein most recently and they just said sorry about your brother, hope he is ok and we will remove the sign post. Yes, you guessed it - its still there) but I have yet to see one illegally placed sign removed.

Any thoughts on this? or am I just being pedantic....

Edit : shortened to remove the copied snippet from Dublin Council to avoid the post not being read/complaints the post it too long.

Apologies for the double post but I am looking to see if I can get some info on the candidates in the local election here in Navan.

I am resident here 5 years or so but just got it changed on the register so I can vote now but don't know much about the runners and riders.

I do like that Alan (Lawes?) doesn't have any posters up, so I'm leaning that way.

Why on earth is the NX not a feeder service into the buses at Blanchardstown. It would be more frequent and solve the issues of not enough space in the mornings. I thought the whole point was connecting the bus routes together

Any idea where the nearest allotments to trim are?
