Bohermeen GAA
Bohermeen is a Roman Catholic parish in the Irish Diocese of Meath. Its English name is a corruption of an ancient Irish language name, ''An Bóthar Mín'', which meant ''the smooth road''. Originally one of the five famed ancient roadways that led from the mediaeval capital of Ireland, Tara, approximately 10 miles away cut through the area. The quality of the roadway, in an era of dirt-roads (which still exist today), earned for it the nickname of the smooth road, ''An Bóthar Mín''. History For nearly fourteen hundred years the local area went by the name of '' Ard Braccan'' or ''Ardbraccan'', meaning ''the height of Braccan'', the hill on which St. Braccan located his mediaeval monastery and which in the 9th century became a diocese with its own bishop. Even when the diocese of Ardbraccan joined with other small dioceses such as ''Fore'' and Kells to form the Diocese of Meath, Braccan's hill became the location of the palace of the Bishop of Meath.
