    I might be able to shed some light....

    Truely, the boundary between Meath and Louth should be the Boyne in the middle of Drogheda, but in reality, the county boundary is a few miles south, just at the Boyne Valley Hotel. There were plans brought forward to (then) Drogheda Corporation by former town mayor Frank Godfrey (locals will know of this man's interesting contribution to local politics) to incorporate the whole of the Meath coastline area in its new area of influence. This would've included Bettystown, Mornington, Laytown, Julianstown and possibly Duleek and Gormanstown.

    Obviously Meath Co Co and locals got the hump and this didnt happen, and rightly so. TBH, it was laffed out by the Louth folk too. But that hasnt stopped Meath Co Co rezoning an awful lot of land just south for residental development, one look at the new Park Wood estate on the Colpe Road as you turn right from the N1 at the Europa Hotel (was the Rosnaree) would tell. :D
