Sport: Statements
The local sports partnership programme co-ordinates sports on an excellent basis at a local level bringing all of the stakeholders together. I am a director of the Donegal local sports partnership and I was a founding member during my days on Donegal County Council and on the board of Údarás na Gaeltachta. It brings together a vision to allow not merely one or two sports to develop but every sport in a geographical area on a county or city basis. It is very important to have continuity of support for the local sports partnership structure. Local sports partnerships at the coalface of sports development and participation and work with volunteers on a local level. It is important that they are supported.
