This volume brings together nineteen of the thirty papers given to the Thirteenth International Seminar on Marginal Regions held in Ireland in the summer of 1995. Two of the editors, James Walsh and Proinnsias Breathnach, were our hosts for the five days of the Seminar in County Kildare and County Kerry. By tradition, the Seminar participants are enabled to observe at first hand the nature of regional development problems and to meet local officials and practitioners and discuss with them the practicalities of development efforts in their areas by holding the Seminar in two main centres (at least one of them rural), and making field trips to nearby places. On this occasion, the members of the Seminar saw for themselves the impressive efforts being made in the west of Ireland to overcome the disadvantages of remoteness, a thin resource base, and adverse demographic characteristics. Throughout, Jim and Fran were entertaining hosts, whose good humour and wide, expert knowledge of the region made the Seminar both very enjoyable and highly instructive.

It has been impossible within the scope of a single volume to do full justice to all the papers which were given to the Seminar, and it has been the unenviable task of the three co-editors to choose among them. Our criteria have been that they are representative of the regions and economic sectors which are the main concerns of the Seminar, and that they address in stimulating and useful ways the theme of the occasion, Sustainable Regional and Local Development. The blame for any typographical or stylistic errors in the papers included in this volume, however, lies entirely with Reg Byron, who assembled and copy-edited the manuscript.
