Trivia and History


Inside the service area.


Services opened 2010

The service area opened on 6 October 2010, under a 25-year contract. It was part of 'tranche 1', the first three service area contracts to be awarded in Ireland.

Bids to operate the service areas were received by Applegreen, Esso, Top and Welcome Break. Welcome Break's consortium "Service Area Solutions", was shortlisted, but Welcome Break described the traffic levels as "unrealistic". Ironically, Applegreen won the contract (as SuperStop) and are now Welcome Break's parent company.

This is currently the only service area in Ireland only accessible from a tolled motorway. Despite being named after the town in Co. Meath, it is in fact over the border in Kildare.

The service area opened with units branded aCafé, Burger King and Costa. aCafé became The Bakewell in 2017, joined by Freshii on the westbound side and Subway on the eastbound side. The Costa lounges both became Lavazza in 2022, with Freshii closing soon after.
