Meat plants in Ireland

There are 337 meat plants in Ireland approved to slaughter animals or cut meat, spread across 26 counties. 171 of them slaughter animals, and the other 166 cut and prepare meat. The map and list come from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine's register of approved plants, updated on 9 November 2026.

Being on the register means a plant is approved to operate, not that it is hiring. To find open jobs, use the county links below or browse all meat jobs. Coming from outside the EU? Read our work permit guide for meat jobs.

Map of meat plants

Each dot is a town, and bigger dots mean more plants there. Select a dot to see the plants in that town. A few towns could not be matched on the map, so their dot sits in the middle of the county.

How do I get a job in a meat plant?

Look at the open meat jobs on MeatWork.ie for your county, or check the careers pages of the companies that run plants near you. Being on this list means a plant is approved to operate, not that it is hiring. Workers from outside the EU need an employment permit, which our work permit guide explains.

Where this list comes from

The plants come from two spreadsheets published by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine on its approved establishments page, updated on 9 November 2026. One lists plants the Department has long supervised, and the other lists plants that local authorities used to supervise. We include every plant on either list that is approved to slaughter animals or cut meat, and leave out cold stores and plants that only make finished products.

Towns were placed on the map using OpenStreetMap, so a dot shows the town, not the plant's exact site. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
