County Meath (-enmiːðpron; or simply ) is one of the twenty-six counties of the Republic of Ireland and one of the thirty-two counties of Ireland. It is located in the province of Leinster. It was named after the historic kingdom and province of Mide (meaning "middle"), and is today also known by the nickname "The Royal County" due to its history as seat of the ancient High Kings of Ireland. Meath is the 14th largest of Ireland’s 32 counties in area and 13th largest in terms of population. It is the second largest of Leinster’s 12 counties in size and third largest in terms of population. The county town is Navan, where the county hall and government are located, although Trim, the former county town, has historical significance and remains a sitting place of the circuit court. County Meath also has the only two Gaeltacht areas in the province of Leinster, at Ráth Cairn and Baile Ghib. The population of the county is 162,831 according to the 2006 census.
