The Regional Assemblies and the Eastern and Midland Region
The Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly is one of the three Regional Assemblies in Ireland. It was created alongside the Southern Regional Assembly and Northern & Western Regional Assembly by the Local Government Reform Act 2014.
The Region is the smallest in land area of the three Irish Regions but the largest in population size, with over 2.5 million people.
The Region acts as an international gateway to the island with major airports and ports on the Dublin-Belfast Economic Corridor and strategic national road and rail links. The main settlement is the capital city of Dublin, which is supported by a network of regional and county towns and an extensive rural hinterland.
