Meath Street, one of Dublin’s most characterful streets runs from the Coombe to Thomas Street and is parallel with Francis Street. It offers an eclectic mix of traditional traders and newer, cool cafés and restaurants. It is a convenient and exciting office location with easy access to the city centre.

This area is known as the Liberties and is a renowned market area that has seen significant development in the last five years. Traditionally  associated  with  market  traders, local family-owned businesses as well as whiskey distilling, it is now  a centre of enterprise, innovation,  art, design, leisure,  entertainment and commercial life. It is the home of the tech and media hub as well as medical and education centres.

The extensive regeneration of the Liberties includes the Meath Street & Environs Public Realm Improvement Project announced in July 2021. This will include substantially widened footpaths providing improved pedestrian experience as well as opportunities for on street uses such as outdoor seating area and market stalls, new trees, new landscaped areas, and public seating.

Time Out magazine cited the area as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world last year and a recent  global wealth report included Dublin 8 alongside four other global neighbourhoods in a list “primed for prosperity” in terms of income growth potential and overall values.

Large scale developments in the immediate area include the National Children’s Hospital and a number of new hotels, apartment schemes, student accommodation and the regeneration of retail and services offerings. The planned redevelopment of a large tranche of the St. James’ Gate Guinness site will further enhance the area’s reputation as the most exciting Dublin location to live, work or invest.

The  area  is  well  served  by  public  transport  with  numerous  Dublin Bus routes, Dublin Bike depots, Heuston Rail Station and the Red Luas line.
