Virginia is a town situated close to Lough Ramor, on the N3 route approximately 85 km northwest of Dublin. The area is well served by public transport, connected to Dublin by an hourly bus service from Cavan town. Regarded these days as a commuter town with its proximity to larger trading towns east and west, the local industry consists mainly of farming and milk processing at the local Glanbia factory, which produces skim milk powder and cream for the world renowned brand Baileys Irish Cream liqueur.
Other local manufacturers include the Fleetwood brand of paint products. Virginia has won the prestigious Irish Tidy Towns Competition several times. Virginia College, formerly Virginia Vocational School, is the only secondary school in Virginia. Situated beside Lough Ramor, it is a mixed school educating over 700 pupils.
