Sports Council set to launch new research programme
The council's three-year strategic plan Sport for Life was launched in Croke Park yesterday by Minister John O'Donoghue, who described it as an exciting follow-up to the ISC's first strategy statement A New Era for Irish Sport. That had introduced a new funding dimension to sport and the Local Sports Partnerships which were set up as a result.
Central to the success of this new strategic plan will be a 300,000 research project by the ESRI which will also influence long-term planning.
