Stamullen(Irish: Steach Maoilín, meaning "Mullen's house[1]") is a village in County Meath, Ireland on the border with County Dublin. It lies just off the M1 motorway some 35 km north of Dublin and beside the River Delvin. Recently it has been expanded by the development of numerous housing estates in the area.
The village contains a supermarket, pub, three hairdressers, gents salon, veterinary clinic, butcher, fast food outlet, Vietnamese take-away, laundromat and a coffee shop.
In October 1999, a Real IRA training camp and underground firing range were discovered near the village.[2]
