Rationale of the Local Sport Partnerships
The Irish Sports Council (ISC) has recognised that the partnerships are an excellent mechanism for delivering recreational sport to local people. Key tasks that the partnerships are involved in include:
- The creation and implementation of plans for long term local sports development
- The establishment of a sustainable structure to assist all those involved in local sports development to face the associated challenges -e.g. recruiting and managing volunteers, quality training, etc
- Delivery of projects and programmes particularly for target groups - Establishing networks at local level and liaising with existing initiatives
