There are some interesting local Acts and which I emphasise because they are important. Some statutes relate to Athlone and Westmeath for example Schedule 1, Acts which are retained, including the Meath and Counties of Westmeath Act 1543. This is the Act which divided the historic county of Meath into the two modern counties of Meath and Westmeath. It can be described as the foundation of County Westmeath.
