Aligning with the vision and objectives of Ireland’s National Sports Policy 2018-2027, this multi-stakeholder plan will provide a cohesive, strategic and operational framework for the development of sport across Mayo.

Delivered through our ‘Shaping’ strand, we will ensure this Local Sports Plan for Mayo not only sets the strategic vision but is also actionable and owned by the community and partners it is designed to serve. We are looking forward to working in close cooperation with Mayo Sports Partnership as well as various National Governing Bodies, local clubs, communities and partners within and beyond sport across Mayo.
