Development Plan For Clare Sports Amenities Launched

Construction News Image
Clare County Development Board has launched its blueprint for the future development of sport and recreation facilities in the region.

The two-year strategy has received backing from a number of local sports and recreational agencies, who wish to promote existing facilities in the area, as well as develop new multi-purpose schemes.

Mayor of Clare, Madeleine Taylor Quinn said: "The partnership approach adopted by the key providers, stakeholders and local agencies will undoubtedly contribute to the strategy's long term vision being achieved."

Ms Taylor Quinn thanked all of the partner agencies for their commitment to the development and future implementation of the strategy.

Irish Sports Council chief, and former Olympic medalist, John Treacy said: "It is particularly pleasing to see that Clare County Council and Clare Sports Partnership are working so closely together for the future development of sport and recreation in the county."

The former athlete described the strategy as "an essential step" in the development of local sports partnerships and matching community needs to partnership priorities.

"It is then possible to quantify the resources required effectively to achieve these priorities and answer local needs. This ensures that the plan can be a working document, which will show results over its lifetime," added Mr Treacy.

The County Clare Recreation and Sport Strategy 2009-2011 is the most recent strategy developed in Clare using an inter-agency and collaborative approach involving the local council, Clare Sports Partnership, Ennis Town Council, Kilrush Town Council, Clare Youth Services, HSE West, Clare County Childcare Committee, Clare VEC and Shannon Development.
