76 Rural areas with strong potential for diversification In these areas, there is potential for rural diversification based around a possible mix of activities drawn from amongst the tourism, forestry, enterprise and marine sectors. Identifying such potential and activating it needs to be a focus in these areas for local communities and business groups supported by bodies such as the County Development and County Enterprise Boards and relevant government departments and agencies. Diversifying areas There are areas, along the west coast particularly, that have been successfully diversifying in recent years. The restructuring of their economies has been based on growing a variety of economic activities. These economies had traditionally been largely dependent on the agricultural sector. On the basis of the 2002 census results, many of these areas have shown increases in population since 1996. However, local authorities should now carefully manage and sustain this diversification process in the future by focusing on conserving the attractiveness of both the landscape and townscape of the areas that supported the diversification process in the first place. Local authorities can perform this role through the planning system through a focus on ensuring that new development is of the highest quality in terms of design and location. 4.2 The Border Region The physical nature of the border region, and location of roads and communications links, suggests that there are three broad areas to be considered in a more detailed manner within the national structure outlined in Section 3. These three broad areas are • the north western part of the border region, mainly Donegal • the western part, mainly Sligo and Leitrim • the central and eastern parts, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth In this context the factors critical to the border region’s full participation in balanced regional development include the strengthened roles and contribution of Letterkenny/Derry, Sligo and Dundalk, as new gateways to drive development through enhanced critical mass, accessibility and capacity for development. Other towns, villages and rural areas will need to develop roles complementary to those of the gateways to ensure that a wider area will benefit from the critical mass in the region provided by the gateways. These other towns, including small towns along the west coast, inland county and larger towns and rural areas in the region are varied in nature and in the development issues they face. Some rural areas are diversifying into tourism and small and medium enterprise/natural resource development, while others have considerable potential for diversification and growth. County Towns and towns over 5,000 population Sligo, Letterkenny and Dundalk as gateways will be supported by Monaghan and Cavan as hubs. Monaghan will build on its strategic location between Dublin and Derry on the N2, its links to Armagh and its capacity for growth. Cavan occupies a strategic location on the N3 leading on to Enniskillen, with the town itself also supporting an extensive hinterland. Other county towns, like Carrick-on-Shannon, perform regionally strategic residential, employment, administrative and other service functions. Fostering and developing these roles will be important to complement the functions of gateways and hubs. Drogheda has much potential for development given its scale, established enterprise base, communications and business and other links with the Greater Dublin Area.
