SPORT AND RECREATION

Sports Partnerships have been set up in conjunction with the Irish Sports Council in more than half the Local Authority areas. Counties nearest to us who have them include Donegal, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, Monaghan and Westmeath. These are financed by the Irish Sports Council and are representative of the various parties involved in the promotion of Sport and Recreational Activity in the counties concerned.

Leitrim put in a bid for a Sports Partnership a few years ago but the Irish Sports Council are currently reviewing the progress of the previously established Partnerships before creating additional ones.

In the meantime many of the functions of a Sports Partnership in counties which do not have one are carried out by the Vocational Education Committee. This is so in Leitrim and the most recent of those activities has been the allocation of the annual Sports Grants to clubs. The Leitrim VEC at it's most recent meeting approved grants of €130 to each eligible club which had applied. Applications are sought each year in November and the scheme is advertised annually in the local newspaper
