Neat as a town in Meath (4)
I believe the answer is:
trim
'neat as a town in meath' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for trim that I've seen before include "Spick and span" , "Reduce slightly" , "Cut off; in good order" , "Lop unwanted parts off, tree or hair" , "To change views expediently" .)
