Sport Action Plan

In July 2018, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport published the National Sports Policy 2018 – 2027.

Action 39 of the Policy commits to the preparation of a Sports Action Plan which is currently being considered by the members of the Sports Leadership Group (SLG) appointed by the Minister in accordance with the National Sports Policy. A number of possible actions have been identified and these are presented in the draft Sports Action Plan available on the Department’s website.

To facilitate the orderly receipt and processing of submissions in response to this public consultation, please use the template provided below. It should be noted that not every aspect of the 10-year National Sports Policy can be fully addressed in the proposed 3-year draft action plan. A process of prioritisation is accordingly required.

On page 3, submissions are sought on proposed actions which you feel should be included that aren’t currently included in the draft. Submissions should be made by way of a short proposed action with a business case outlining your reasoning for such.

On page 4, the Department welcomes submissions on the 33 actions currently listed in the draft action plan.
