The Future Jobs Ireland project will be high on the agenda.

It is billed as creating jobs in the years ahead by building a new “economic pathway for Ireland based on embracing innovation and technological change and transitioning to a low carbon economy”.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and his ministers including local Meath East TD Regina Doherty will meet at the OPW's headquarters in the town.

It is not the first time these current government ministers have met outside of Dublin.
