150 2: Hubs Castlebar-Ballina These towns are strategically located in the West. The centres also contain complementary functions and capabilities that point towards a capacity to develop and energise wider areas through integrated and co-ordinated development. Castlebar has important healthcare, education (through the Galway/Mayo Institute of Technology) retailing and administrative functions, while Ballina has important employment and tourism functions and a substantial capacity for development. With enhanced physical links between these centres in terms of transport and communications, Castlebar- Ballina will perform an important spatial function in the NSS context. Cavan Cavan is strategically located on the N3 route between Dublin, the Midlands gateway of Athlone / Tullamore / Mullingar, the Sligo gateway and Monaghan as a hub. Cavan also occupies a strategic position within a large, predominantly rural hinterland, as well as being proximate to the border and other major towns in Northern Ireland such as Enniskillen. Cavan performs important administrative, retailing and employment functions for its substantial catchment. Ennis Ennis is closely related in economic and other terms with the Mid West and Limerick and Shannon particularly. Its development, based on a large and growing population base, location on the national roads and rail networks adjacent to Shannon Airport, and its capacity for growth all suggest a nationally strategic role, as part of improving interaction and sharing of strengths between western cities. Ennis is also strategic regionally and locally as a hub within its own catchment in terms of transport, retailing, employment, education and administration functions. Kilkenny Kilkenny is a centre with a substantial population base, a highly successful tourism sector, improving accessibility due to a location on the national road and rail networks with links to an international seaport, and a strategic location between Dublin and Waterford. Kilkenny also has substantial capacity for development in land and water services terms and is a centre with both the critical mass and distance from Dublin to be capable of being successful in sustaining itself in employment terms, thereby resisting the tendency towards commuter driven development. Mallow Mallow occupies a strategic spatial position at the meeting point of the Cork – Limerick and Tralee – Waterford/Rosslare road and rail routes. Mallow’s location outside the suburbs of Cork coupled to its function as a hub will strengthen Cork – Limerick interaction and energise its own catchment within north Cork, an area undergoing structural economic change driven by falling farm based employment. It is a large town with a good population base, a substantial capacity for development in water services and land terms and has developing public transport links to Cork. Monaghan Monaghan is strategic spatially in the border context because of its location on the Dublin - Derry axis. It is strategically located on the N2 Dublin-Derry road, will be proximate to the Dundalk Gateway and has improving interaction with substantial urban centres in Northern Ireland such as Armagh. Monaghan performs important employment, retailing and administrative functions and has substantial capacity for development in land and water services terms.

Tuam Tuam will both assist in building links and interactions between the existing gateway of Galway City and the new gateway at Sligo and energise its own substantial catchment in County Galway. Tuam will perform this role through its position in the area’s urban structure in terms of population, strategic location on the N17 and regional road networks as well as energy and communication links, its substantial capacity for development and local employment and service functions. Tralee/Killarney Tralee and Killarney are adjacent towns that have complementary strengths. Tralee is a town with a substantial population base, location on the national road and rail networks, a developing tourism base, substantial water services and land for development and important employment, retailing and administrative functions. Killarney is a nationally strategic tourism centre with important retailing and employment functions and is also on the national road and rail networks. Through integrated and co-ordinated development, these strengths can be combined resulting in enhanced critical mass and enhanced potential for development in a regional and local sense energising the wider County Kerry area. Wexford Wexford is strategically located in the Southeast, close to Rosslare Port and on the national road and rail networks. These strengths are also combined with its substantial capacity for development and Wexford’s various employment, retailing, services and administrative functions. Wexford as a hub has an important spatial role in establishing a "triangle of strength" based around Waterford as a Gateway and Kilkenny as another hub with Wexford. This area will substantially strengthen and energise the Southeast and ensure it plays a full part in the Government’s objective for balanced regional development.
