Mullahoran is not on the Meath border. Believe me, I live right beside it and I know! It borders Mullinalaghta and Abbeylara in County Longford, as well as Ballymachugh, Lacken and Gowna in County Cavan, going anti-clockwise from west. Meath only comes in on the far side of Lough Sheelin.

The third one is definitely Maghera - on the road between Virginia and Carnaross.
