Why relocate to Meath?

If you choose Meath as your home you will be surrounded by Irish history. Known as ‘The Royal County’, it was once home to the High King of Ireland and many of Ireland’s oldest and most popular archaeological sites can be found there.

It is an extremely scenic county with many forests, mountains and beaches to spend your free time exploring. People travel from all over Ireland to visit places like Newgrange and the Hill of Tara, but living in Meath means you are only a short journey away.

Meath is a popular location for people to live in while working in Dublin due to the lower cost of living and house prices. As well as that, Meath is a nice escape from the bustling city centre of Dublin, and allows you to enjoy a better work-life balance.

Business Environment

Being so close to Dublin has made Meath an attractive location for businesses to set up. The IDA have established Navan Business and Technology Park for new companies arriving in Ireland while there are also many local organisations thriving in the county too.

Major multinationals such as Alltech Biotechnology, Mafic or Kemek Ltd have all chosen Meath for their Irish operations while other companies such as NovelPlast or Gyproc have recruited large workforces in recent years.

Salaries may be slightly lower than in Dublin, however the commute time for people living and working within the county is much lower. This combined with a lower cost of living, makes Meath an attractive destination for many working professionals.
