Establishment of DLRSP

Background to the Local Sports Partnership initiative

The Irish Sports Council was established in July 1999 under the Irish Sports Council Act. In response to the functions ascribed and the requirements of the Act, the Irish Sports Council produced its first Statement of Strategy, A New Era for Sport in 2000. During the period covered by this strategy, the Irish Sports Council established its first twelve Local Sports Partnerships (LSPs). In their second strategy – Sport for Life – the ISC again supported the continued expansion of the LSP network, with a further four LSPs established in 2004. Since the publication of the current strategy; Building Sport for Life 2006-2008, the remaining 17 LSP’s have been established and there is now full national coverage. The Irish Sports Council has since been renamed Sport Ireland and they continue to fund and act as the national lead for the network of Local Sports Partnerships across the country.  

The Local Sports Partnership initiative is set up to act as a forum for sport at a local level which is charged with improving opportunities to participate in sport for every member of the community. The key aims of the LSPs are to increase participation in sport and to ensure that local resources are used to best effect.
