The Irish Sports Council created local sports partnerships as the best mechanism for delivering recreational sport to the greatest amount of people, making real the philosophy known as “sport for all”.  The main aim of the Sports Partnership is:

To increase participation in sport.

To ensure that local resources are used to best effect.

A mechanism to co-ordinate the efforts of all key influencers to further develop sporting opportunities for local communities

A vital link between the needs of local people, the work of other sports organisations/officers and national agencies and state agencies
