The Old Mill Hotel
2008-04-11 10:34:00
Oh The irony! The Old Mill aka The El Molino lives on in cyberspace. The Old Mill Hotel was built on the site of an old flour mill, which has been in existence for almost 200 years. We are located just 20 minutes drive from Dublin airport, just off the main Dublin to Belfast Road (N1) The building incorporates ...
Just how bad is it going to get?
2008-02-24 00:14:00
Well, following on from the previous post we decided to analyse the plans and point out what the area population projections are looking like. The relevant documents include the Meath County Development Plan, the so-called Planning Strategy for the Greater Drogheda Area, and the Local Area Plan for the Drogheda Environs (in Meath). It doesn’t look ...

East Meath on Primetime
2008-02-12 23:55:00
Laytown featured on Prime Time tonight in a piece focussing on the new residential planning guidelines launced by the Greens yesterday. I’ll get a link and clip when it goes on the web so stay tuned. To be honest my gut feeling in all this is that we are doomed if this is all we have ...
Zoning Gone Bad
2007-11-11 00:43:00
Strong words reported from the head of An Bord Pleanala regarding crazy zoning by local authorities. He raises the spectre that local authorities may be liable for damages due to improper land zoning decisions. The Chairperson said he noted the exercise by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government of his powers to intervene ...
Good Neighbourhoods!
2007-10-15 22:46:00
Good article in the Irish edition of the Sunday Times yesterday regarding the regeneration of some horrific local authority states in Limerick City. Some choice quotes from the article: From a former local authority engineer a combination of bad planning, inept management, and wilful official indiference is to blame for creating ghettoes. Limerick’s crime problem…is a hangover ...

2007-09-07 13:29:00
The Seat of Mercy Church in Julianstown asked me to advertise a family day that they are organising. It takes place in Julianstown Community Centre (Old Church) between 12 and 5 on Sunday September 16. There is face painting bouncy castles and video game competitions.
Eastern European Old Mill Julianstown Disgarce
2007-06-24 01:24:00
The Eastern European community in the area disgraced themselves this evening. There was some kind of festival taking place in the Old Mill Hotel in Julianstown. It was clear that trouble was expected from the start since the organisers employed security guards who blocked off the Julianstown to Duleek road. During the afternoon enthusiastic Eastern ...

The following are Projections for the growth in population in the East Meath area including Drogheda Environs to 2013. Population growth is based on new houses in the recently published Meath Development Plan. By 2013 the population will either double or will only increase by 70% depending on whether the average no. of people per house ...
Julianstown Traffic
2007-06-10 12:24:00
The people at Julianstown.Com have presented very strong evidence that the traffic in the village is not caused by people avoiding the toll but is in fact due to the massive commuting population in the area. See our analysis of the population projections for the area.
F**ked Country
2007-05-31 12:18:00
What a bizarre country. Three stories from this week. Firstly they want to jail parents of kids not going to school. Maybe they should try to find out what the problem is rather than locking already disadvantaged people up. At the same time they still can’t figure out how to build another school in a rapidly ...

Again from Harry McGee But Fianna Fail won the ground war, and won it hands-down. The party always seems to be ahead of the posse in terms of tactics and strategy. In the late 1990s it began maximising its chances of getting a seat bounce by ruthlessly minimising its number of candidates. This time round, it ...
How to vote in Meath East
2007-05-23 21:47:00
So tomorrow is polling day and you are asked to vote for the TDs who will represent Meath East in the next Dail. So what do you do? Do you vote for the government that oversaw the rampant over development of our area over the last 10 years? Do you really believe there is an “alternative ...
All quiet on the Bryanstown front
2007-05-11 23:41:00
Funny there hasn’t been a murmur from the Drogheda United campaign to build 5000 houses in Bryanstown. Maybe they are waiting for the Local Area Planning process. On the other hand one could be forgiven for thinking that they are keeping their heads down until after the election so as not to cause any embarrassment ...
System Failure 3
2007-05-01 23:36:00
So just how bad is the school situation in this area? We have blogged about the Laytown situation and reported on a survey of schools which paints a picture of overcrowded schools with over a third of pupils in prefabs. The survey analyses an area in Meath taking in the coast, Duleek, Slane, Gormanston, Donore etc. ...
Meath County Council wastes Millions in East Meath
2007-04-26 20:02:00
Meath County Council is spending more than ?10M to upgrade the Duleek to Julianstown road. At the same time the village of Julianstown has to suffer under traffic volumes 6 times in excess of the capacity. A bypass of Julianstown is worth in the region of ?20M to the East Meath economy but the council ...
More questions than answers regarding Julianstown bypass
2007-04-25 22:13:00
This is the report in the Meath Chronicle. THE whole commercial life of Duleek village was ?slowly grinding to a halt? because of the volume of heavy trucks using the village, Colr Jimmy Cudden told the Slane Electoral Area Committee of Meath County Council last week when he demanded to know if there was any progress ...
Julianstown lights again
2007-04-16 14:15:00
I heard this morning, that cars were breaking the lights while children were crossing the road on the way to school, even with the attendance of the lolly pop man. My own experience this morning was that I was pulling out to make a right turn and pulled half way across the road hoping someone would ...
New thinking on Traffic
2007-04-15 19:42:00
One of those days when certain events overlap. First of all I read in the Tribune that the number of people taking cycling holidays in Ireland has halved due to appalling driver behaviour and the number of HGV’s on the road. Doesn’t really come as a surprise but is another nail in the coffin of ...
Improving Julianstown
2007-04-11 21:46:00
A joint effort between Julianstown Residents Association volunteers and Meath County Council is adding a new public space to the village. Well done to all involved.
