Key Town Gorey Gorey has experienced sustained growth over the last 20 years and had a population of 9,822 in 2016. It is strategically located with access to the M11/N11 which connects it to Dublin (<90km), Wexford Town (52km) and Rosslare Europort (68km). It is also served by Intercity rail and bus services which offer commuter services to Dublin. Gorey has become a commuter town for people working in the Greater Dublin Area but is well-placed to accommodate additional economic growth to become more self- sustaining. It is an important and thriving urban centre providing a range of services to residents of the town and the wider rural hinterland including education, health care, retail, and employment, cultural and recreational facilities. The town is part of Ireland’s Ancient East and a tourism cluster based on linked coastal resorts.
