The temptation is to build new….build in the city….add to the congestion.
An alternative, is to provide employment in your own locality to strengthen your community where families can grow, become neighbours, become friends, attend the local school, play sport for the local teams, support the local shop, cycle to work, socialise, and foster a sense of ’Belonging’.
InverMed and Advant Medical could have moved to the city, but they chose to stay in their own locality and provide employment, thus allowing both management and staff to continue to ‘belong’ to the area and therefore support the growth and vibrancy of their local community, thus fostering ‘Pride of Place’ and the Architecture of Belonging.
Údarás na Gaeltachta is the regional authority responsible for the economic, social and cultural development of the Gaeltacht. It is a key player in fostering and driving the essence of ‘Belonging’.
