A draft National Sports Facilities Strategy 2010-2015 has now been completed within my Department and has been circulated to a number of Government Departments and other relevant bodies for observations. Following receipt of these comments I intend to submit the strategy to the Government for its consideration and publication. The aim of the National Sports Facilities strategy is to provide high-level policy direction for future investment and grant assistance at national, regional and local level. The strategy also identifies the wider economic, health and social case for continued investment in sports facilities. It aims to prioritise areas for future investment and to ensure continued impact in the relevant areas.
