Erin Park Ltd has applied to Meath County Council to transform the unit in the Oak Tree Business Park into a facility for international protection applicants similar to proposals quashed in other parts of the county Erin Park Ltd stated: "The development consists of non material amendments to the façade The change of use for the structure in the context of this request for a declaration under Section 5 is for from commercial to its temporary use to accommodate persons seeking 'international protection' by or on behalf of the Minster for Children as defined by Section 2(1) of the International Protection Act 2015 (no.66 of 2015)" I am raising urgent concerns about a proposed International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centre in the town The facility is to be located in a building within an industrial estate—an unsuitable location by any reasonable standard This development has come without consultation or regard for the serious infrastructural and community challenges it poses” “Trim has suffered from critical water outages consistently over the past three years Our current infrastructure is barely able to support the existing population We have major problems with the lack of doctors in the town and the lack of Gardaí This town is at breaking point on a range of different key services” “The proposed building itself is highly inappropriate It is not suitable for families or children to live in The building contains no kitchen facilities and just one toilet which is grossly inadequate for the number of residents expected This is not a humanitarian solution—it’s a shortcut at the expense of vulnerable people and local community welfare” “Even more troubling is the complete absence of consultation with elected representatives or the local population I only became aware of this plan on 2nd May with a decision set to be finalised by 30th May This leaves little time for public input and reinforces the perception that proper planning laws are being selectively applied While ordinary citizens and businesses must adhere to rigorous planning requirements this project seems to bypass them entirely” Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín demanded the Minister for Justice to come to the next meeting of the Trim Municipal Council and engage with the people of Trim We also urge the Department of Integration and all relevant authorities to immediately pause this proposal until a full public consultation and independent site suitability review can be completed” Meath Chronicle is part of Celtic Media Group which includes: The Anglo Celt Westmeath Examiner and Westmeath Independent| © 2021 Meath Chronicle and Celtic Media Group Meath West TD Peadar Tóibín is calling for the Minister for Justice to come to the next Trim Municipal District meeting to engage with the local community on plans for an IPAS centre in the town A decision is due by the end of the month on an application by Erin Park Ltd to transform an industrial unit in the Oak Tree Business Park into a facility for international protection applicants The Aontú leader says there is absolutely no engagement and is urging the Department of Integration and all relevant authorities to immediately pause the proposal until full public consultation is carried out and an independent review of the site's suitability can be completed Councillor Dave Boyne says Trim has suffered from critical water outages consistently over the past three years and argues the current infrastructure is barely able to support the existing population and claims there's a

construction work expected to get underway early next year Ambitious plans aimed at adding a cutting edge and modern facility to Trim Castle has been a long-held aspiration for local authority chiefs and politicians Planning permission for the project has been in place since the early part of last year designs that are set to see the Market House building undergoing extensive conservation Those plans are also expected to bring with it the introduction of a 200sq m extension along with a roof terrace covered walkway and outdoor performance area Kevin ‘Boxer’ Moran said the extensive upgrade plans remained a central point of concern for his department following the appointment of a design team late last year “The Office of Public Works (OPW) is committed to enhancing the visitor experience at our national heritage sites and Trim Castle is a key priority,” he said “As one of Ireland’s most significant medieval landmarks it attracts thousands of visitors each year contributing to the cultural and economic life of the region “The OPW is progressing plans for a new Visitor Experience Centre at Trim Castle to improve access “The centre will provide state-of-the-art visitor facilities "It will also serve as a hub for cultural and community events reinforcing Trim Castle’s role as a major heritage and tourism destination.” A perennial high achiever in attracting visitors

before the end of December ahead of construction work getting underway in the new year “This project represents a significant investment in Ireland’s national heritage and tourism infrastructure,” he said “It will enhance the visitor experience while delivering economic and cultural benefits to Trim and the wider region "The new centre will strengthen Trim Castle’s appeal to both domestic and international visitors and provide a focal point for learning and engagement with Ireland’s medieval history.” CrimeHomicide is the leading cause of non-natural deaths among children state pathologist study revealsHomicide is the leading cause of child deaths that are examined by the state pathologist A LONG-RUNNING saga for residents of Maudlin Vale in Trim who were left for many years living in an unfinished estate is to finally to come to an end with news that the estate will be taken in charge For years residents had highlighted how they were the "forgotten estate" as the houses of their dreams turned into a nightmare when the economic crash left them in one of the last unfinished estates of the Celtic Tiger residents had spoken out about issues in the unfinished estate with the Meath Chronicle highlighting their plight on several occasions The original development was built by Baltra Developments who built the first phase of houses but did not complete the development before the economic crash In recent years the remainder of the homes were built by another developer- Mulleady Homes- and now there is good news for residents as the council finally moves to take the estate in charge Trim area councillors approved the taking in charge of Maudlin Vale estate after they heard that the council was satisfied that all outstanding works in had been carried out and that following an inspection it was recommending that the estate be taken in charge It went out to public display and no submissions were received It will now go before full council to be rubber stamped Councillors were told that first phase of homes were completed many years ago and part of the conditions of the construction of the remainder of the development was to bring phase one up to a standard that it could be taken in charge They heard that the remedial works had been carried out to the first phase as identified by the council and that the new part of the development also up to an acceptable standard and that the road into the estate had been surfaced It was confirmed that both the older part and new part of the estate were being taken in charge Cllr Noel French thanked the council for their work and said it was one of their only unfinished estates in the area and he had great sympathy for the people who lived there and the news was really welcome Cllr Joe Fox also welcomed it and said it was residents who were victims of the economic crash and it was just left there so it was great to see it fully taken in charge Cllr Paul O'Rourke queried what is the issue with the parcel of land that is not being taken in charge in the middle of the estate and was told that it is not in the ownership of the developer so they could not apply for it to be taken in charge Apr 25, 2025 | , ,

against undefeated table toppers Navan O’Mahony’s in a one sided game in sunny Paddy O’Brien Park on Saturday 26th April The final scoreline of 3-19 to 0-06 is reflective of the utter superiority of Trim throughout the game and in every area of the field O’Mahony’s flattered to deceive as they chalked up their first score almost from the throw in and within the first minute It was the only time that they held the lead and it lasted less than a minute as Daire Lynch swiftly replied with a long range point and Tom Carmody (2) and Conor Quigley stretched Trim’s lead before O’Mahony’s got their second point in the twelfth minute David Lernihan responded swiftly with a goal and a point in the 15th and 16th minute The goal followed a magnificent fifty meter crossfield pass from Tom Carmody Shortly afterwards O’Mahony’s kicked a magnificent two pointer with the aid of the strong breeze but that was their last score in the first half Trim totally dominated the remainder of the half and added a further two points before the interval to leave the half time score Trim had the advantage of the significant breeze in the second half and showed they were not going to take anything for granted by opening their scoring with a Tadhg Carty point in the first minute This was quickly followed by a great two pointer from the impressive Sean Fitzgerald Trim added a further 2-10 to Navan O’Mahony’s 0-4 in the remainder of the half in an utterly dominant display which saw them run out 3-19 to 0-06 winners The two goals were notable for the fact that they were scored by two substitutes who were only minutes on the field when they made their mark Ian Birmingham came on as a blood substitute for the injured David Lernihan and immediately found himself at the end of a great Trim move and shot low and hard to the O’Mahony’s net The second of the goals was a spectacular from Caoimhín O’Reilly as good a goal as anyone present will see anywhere this year caught the ball and pivot to his left and sent the ball screaming to the back of the net Trim are certainly shaping up well at the moment This was a commanding performance against the unbeaten table toppers Their defence was solid to a man and gave their opponents little room to settle on the ball or score Padraig Walsh and Gerry Dwane were most prominent Conor and Patrick Quigley worked non-stop throughout the match and gave Trim a dominance on which this victory was built All the forwards moved well and worked hard for each other and for the magnificent 3-19 tally Even as Trim emptied their bench the subs impressed in defence and attack At the half way point of the League this win sees Trim top the table with nine points from a possible 10 are also on nine points but with an inferior score difference so all to

Cllr Ronan Moore said it was "both disappointing and worrying"that there were a number of active travel projects that might fall foul of the same issue and pointed out that council staff had put a lot of work into the scheme that it had gone through public consultaiton and was now " essentially suspended and left on the shelf" "It was a project that seemed to be strong and positive and I am asking government parties to reconsider where funding is spent in terms of active transport and ensure that these projects that are shovel ready and have the time and effort and energy put in to them Cllr Padraig Fitzsimons questioned what it meant for the Balreask/Borallion junction saying the pathfinder project was to be the "answer for that junction" and the meeting heard this was not affected Apr 18, 2025 | , , , Aontú Councillor Dave Boyne has slammed the state of Meath’s transport infrastructure highlighting the absurdity that it’s quicker to fly from London’s Heathrow Airport to Dublin than it is to drive from Trim to the capital Highlighting the daily struggle faced by commuters Boyne says the time has come for serious investment in a modern rail link that connects Navan to Dublin for passenger rail services who is employed as an engineer on the Hornsea 3 offshore windfarm regularly travels between the UK and Ireland “A flight from Heathrow to Dublin takes less than an hour a commuter from Trim can easily spend 90 minutes or more sitting in traffic trying to get into the city,” said Boyne “It’s not just frustrating — it’s insulting We are 50 kilometres away and yet it can feel like another country when it comes to travel times.” Boyne is calling for the long-promised Navan to Dublin railway line to be delivered “We had railway transport to all major towns 100 years ago in far poorer times—how can we not deliver it now it’s basic infrastructure that any functioning country should provide.” “Even if they put on a passenger service from Navan to Drogheda “It’s not good enough to leave one of Ireland’s fastest-growing counties without a proper commuter rail line Boyne warned that the current situation is affecting not just commuters but the local economy as well and young people are being driven away from towns like Trim and Navan Dublin keeps expanding without any real plan to connect to surrounding areas efficiently.” Constructing a dedicated Navan to Dublin rail line is just common sense,” concluded Boyne “If it’s quicker to fly from a different country than to drive from a neighbouring county The death has occurred of Eddie O’Brien, Brannockstown, Trim, Co.

contacted me at all about this I'm surprised their first instinct was to go to the media rather than pick up the phone to me "We have a strict policy that Aontú members do not cover up take down or interfere with another candidates posters." I am surprised that with the level of homelessness in the country our A&E being under threat and so many people commuting three hours a day to work that this is what is occupying the minds of Sinn Féin."
