Committee on Disability Matters
Participation in Community Life for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Ger McTavish:
This is feeding not only into county development plans but also into the local sports plans. It is actually being tied in. In the last year, local sports plans have been put together by every county. Previously, however, we only had county outdoor sports plans and facilities, whereas now we have local sports plans that everybody engages with in the community. There are consultations with the community, local-level organisations and sporting organisations. All those groups come together then to create a strategy for the local area. After that, we are looking at Get Ireland Active being constantly updated by the local council.
