Welcome to the Border Regional Authority website. The Border Regional Authority is one of eight Regional Authorities established in 1994 to provide a regional tier of government level in Ireland.  The aim of the Authority is to achieve sustainable, balanced regional growth and development whilst ensuring that quality of life, the environment and our unique culture and heritage are protected and enhanced.  The function of the Authority is to promote the co-ordination of the provision of public services at regional level. 

The Border Regional Authority covers the counties of Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Louth, Monaghan and Sligo, situated along the southern side of the border. This comprises an area of some 12,156sq km and a population of 470,000.  The Region is one of the most diverse in the country situated in an outstanding natural environment, with innovative people and close proximity and links with Northern Ireland. Our region is also unique with counties in each of the three provinces, Ulster (Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan), Leinster (Louth) and Connaught (Sligo and Leitrim).
