In assessing the need <strong>for</strong> future facilit<strong>ie</strong>s in comparison to the existing provision in <strong>Athy</strong> (see Section 3) it becomes<br />

evident that additional facilit<strong>ie</strong>s are required in the following sectors:<br />

− Professional services (in particular high quality office space)<br />

− Enterprise development (industry parks and enterprise centres)<br />

− Community facilit<strong>ie</strong>s (in particular cultural and leisure facilit<strong>ie</strong>s)<br />

− Education (see Section 6.3 above)<br />

− Retailing (in particular additional facilit<strong>ie</strong>s <strong>for</strong> the weekly shop and a wider range of low and middle order<br />

comparison goods, some retail warehousing)<br />

It should be noted that a comprehensive catalogue of additional facilit<strong>ie</strong>s <strong>for</strong> <strong>Athy</strong> is not possible and is not the aim<br />

of this Study. The model above only gives an indication of the level of services appropriate <strong>for</strong> <strong>Athy</strong>, ranging<br />

between the levels <strong>for</strong> a small town and a county town. Facilit<strong>ie</strong>s appropriate <strong>for</strong> a city are not desired in <strong>Athy</strong>.<br />
