• Drogheda - Ireland's Next City?
    Sep 26 2024
    In this episode of Drogheda City Status, Drogheda discusses the promising potential of Drogheda, Ireland's largest town, in easing Dublin's escalating living costs and increasingly pressurized infrastructure. The podcast spotlighted Drogheda's strategic location on the Dublin-Belfast economic corridor and its burgeoning population with plans to construct 7,000 additional homes which could alleviate Dublin's housing pressure. Drogheda's potential as an economic hub with a robust workforce, possible expansion of education opportunities and improvement in infrastructure were also addressed. However, administrative challenges due to Drogheda straddling two counties and the need for increased investment were put forth as hurdles. The episode concluded with a call to support Drogheda's bid for city status to unlock its potential and bring about an economically balanced Ireland.
