A Voice for the Region
The Regional Authority, since its establishment, has set out to be a strong voice for the region. It adopts a regional approach and focus on issues and concentrates on identifying and articulating the deficiencies and weaknesses of the region which inhibit its physical, social and economic development.
The Authority has articulated regional concerns in terms of infrastructure, education, tourism, flooding and other issues to government and to the relevant public authorities. Furthermore, the Authority has lobbied at governmental and European level for a more equitable distribution of EU funding so that the South-East receives its fair share.
The Authority seeks to strengthen the Region's voice through the development of links and partnership with the region's MEPs, Oireachtas Members, Local Authorities and Social Partners.
