(Magheracloone is the only parish in Monaghan to border Meath). The parish contains numerous natural resources such as gypsum, which is mined locally. During the 1840s, the population numbered approximately 9,000; today, it is approximately 2,000, but is again growing as a result of economic growth and construction, among other factors. The parish is located on the commuter belt, within 50 statute miles of Dublin (approximately 80 minutes' driving time), and 20 minutes from the M1 motorway. (en)
