Despite never playing for Laois at minor level, Meaney's consistent club performance earned him a call up to the under 21 squad in 2006 and he was part of the Laois team that won the Leinster U21 Football Championship.

New Laois senior manager Liam Kearns called Meaney on to the Laois senior squad for the 2007 O'Byrne Cup campaign.
