The impact of the Irish Recession becomes more visible with every passing day. Drogheda, Co.Louth is a town located approximately thirty kilometres north of Dublin. Only two years ago the town was in the middle of a building boom. Over a dozen residential developments grew around the edge of town with three multi million euro shopping centre's built within a 3 kilometre radius and two retail parks built within the same radius in the space of a couple of years. West Street the main street in the town is experiencing a period of unprecedented rapid decline. Auctioneers signs are clearly visible along the whole street advertising premises to let. At one point along the street there are six units in a row either for sale or for rent. It is not only in retail that the effect of the recession is seen. Within half a kilometre of the town centre industrial estates are sharing the same fate. On the Donore Rd a demolition company work on a site occupied for almost thirty years by soft drinks company Coca Cola. The building which homed one of the largest single employers in the region is now reduced to rubble. A town which in recent years experienced unprecedented development is now subject to unprecedented decline.
