One of Mullingar's major exports are
items of pewterware produced by the firm of Mullingar
Pewter located near the town. Genesis fine art is also produced locally and
sold worldwide – one of its sculptures of the "Pilgrims" dominates
the dispensary house at Austin Friars St where once there was an Augustinian
Friary. The town is the largest town in the Irish
Midlands. The town, as of 2006,
is officially the most populated
town in the midlands due in part
to its increasing popularity as a commuter
town.
Three newspapers serve the community: The Westmeath Topic, The Mullingar
Advertiser and The Westmeath Examiner. Mullingar
forms part of the Midlands
Gateway, in association with Athlone and Tullamore
