This Day in Local History
Did you know? · Dublin suburbs
Local fact
Meath fact 239: Trim sits inside the Meath County Council orbit; north-west commuter towns and Boyne Valley heritage connect to the wider belt by routes such as the M3. It is one reason the What’s On section now refuses undated or stale listings.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
