Cootehill (Irish: Muinchille) is a rapidly-expanding market town in County Cavan in the Ireland. It has a population of approximately 4000 people. It has a very wide street (Market Street). Market Street boasts an impressive display of trees (though there was fierce oppostion to their planting in the early 1990s as people did not want a reduction in parking spaces). In recent years, Cootehill has borne witness to the launching of a spacious new carpark at the rear of the town (thus allievating the worries of the protestors from the early 1990s).

Infrastructure

With the building boom of the last number of years the town has had a number of problems with parking and roads. The old cavan road and Chapel Lane have become one way streets, to allow space for parking. In the early 1990's the "Fair Green" was paved over to prevent Travellers from parking on the area. However it was a less than ideal solution with adjacent owners carving up the area for their own parking. The result was a road which still had a blind spot and the loss of an historical commons area (see village green) which connected the town with its rural roots. With the growth of the national and local economy (and population) the town has seen the construction of a number of new housing estates. The town was recently awarded (December, 2006) a grant of a quarter million to meet the future business needs of the area.
