Recently I have met lots of people (well, two people) who also have family from Navan. Here is a little Navan-fest:
(taken from wikipedia)
Navan (An Uaimh in Irish, meaning "The Cave") is the administrative Capital of County Meath, Ireland. Situated on the N3 National Primary Road, it is the 9th largest and fastest growing town in Ireland according to Census 2002 statistics which state the population of the town increased by 51.6% since the 1996 Census.
Navan is also known for being the childhood home of Pierce Brosnan, the fifth actor to play the celebrated role of James Bond, for eleven years after his birth in neighbouring County Louth. TV personality Hector Ó hEochagáin, creator of the Freenet anti-censorship software Ian Clarke, and comedians Dylan Moran and Tommy Tiernan also hail from Navan. Other famous people included Sir Francis Beaufort, famous for his wind scale.
Clearly Navan is where it's at.
