Construction continues to be a big employer of people living in Kilkelly and Ballycastle. Commerce & Trade and Professional Services are the two largest employment sectors for many of the towns/villages (Ballina, Swinford, Foxford, Kiltimagh, Crossmolina, Kilkelly and Bangor Erris). These are services (private and public) mainly provided to the local population, people from surrounding areas and tourists. The broad ‘Other’ category is a large source of employment particularly in Ballycastle, Knock, Belmullet and Charlestown. It includes personal services and recreation. Public administration is a significant source of employment for Swinford, Charlestown and Foxford. This could be influenced to some degree by commuting. Transport & Communications is most important in Kilkelly, Charlestown and Swinford reflecting the influence of Ireland West Airport Knock. Agriculture is most important in the smaller centres (Ballycastle, Kilkelly and Bangor Erris). 2 Profile of Ballina Prepared by the Western Development Commission (WDC) Profile of Ballina, Co Mayo –
