Social Outcome Contracts in Irish Sport: Discussion

Mr. Liam McGroarty:

On the question about the Minister's commitment to test two pilots in two local authorities, there is no more detail on that. He understood the concept right away and understood that it is new funding going in at local authority level to a sports entity. What is clear is that it will not go to a NGB. It is very much focused on the club that is delivering the service. The club is the service provider and the contract will be with the club to deliver on the social outcomes. Mr. Courell will speak about it, but there will be some onus on the NGB to be sure that the capacities are there at the club, be it the coaches or the governance. The NGB's role is to make sure that is correct.
