Midlands Region, NUTS 3 statistical region in central Ireland.
The Midlands Region encompasses counties Laois, Offaly, Westmeath, and Longford, covering 6,652 square kilometers of Ireland's central territory with 316,799 inhabitants.
The region operated under the Midland Regional Authority until 2014, when it integrated into the Eastern and Midland Region's planning framework following administrative reforms.
Each county in the Midlands Region maintains traditional Irish music venues, local festivals, and markets where regional products represent the agricultural heritage.
The central location provides transportation connections to Dublin and Galway through national roads and rail networks, with Athlone serving as a primary transport hub.
The River Shannon flows through the region, while the peat industry and wood processing sector produce one-third of Ireland's total processed timber output.
