Drogheda Region has one of the highest commuter rates in Ireland. East Meath, according to census 2016, has the highest percentage of commuters travelling for more than 90 minutes each way every day.


Drogheda Chamber of Commerce, Love Drogheda BIDS, and The Mill Enterprise Hub are collaborating on a new strategy to encourage more startups, multinationals and remote workers to base themselves in the wider Drogheda region. It’s critical that we halt the brain-drain of circa 10,000 commuters and harness the expertise in the area to build a self-sustainable regional economy that offers the right work/life balance. 


This survey will take circa 7 minutes to complete and assist us in creating a new  Commuter Strategy, whilst promoting the skills and expertise within the region.


Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize draw for one of three €100 shop local vouchers.
