A total of €3.289m was paid to Meath County Council in the years 1998 – 2003 in respect of the one-stop-shops in Ashbourne, Dunshaughlin and Duleek. Details of these payments are set out in the table below.

It is understood that the offices provide a range of services in the programme areas of roads, sanitary services and housing. These services are managed centrally and delivered locally. Both Duleek and Ashbourne have substantial library services and the provision of these buildings has allowed an extension of opening times over the past number of years. The Duleek office manages the beach programme for the coastal area of the county. All three offices provide a support to the elected members in their respective electoral areas and service the working of the area committees.

The future plans for one-stop-shops in County Meath are a matter for Meath County Council.
