Midlands Gateway


Midlands Gateway or Lake-Counties Gateway

Centered between the major Irish airports, as Dublin, Shannon, and Knock, doted with ever improving ground infrastructure, the Irish government and local government plan to alleviate the worsening urban problems, by decentralising to growing gateways such as the Midlands Gateway of Offaly and Westmeath. According to the Irish National Development plan the Midlands gateway objectives are to reinforce and further develop strong links between these towns and the neighbouring urban centres, by means of Infrastructure and services in order to maximise internal and external accessibility as a location for investment business development and tourism.
