Maximising our sports potential

Partnership aims to increase participation in sport and physical activity throughout the County.

We recognise the importance of research in understanding the sports sector in Carlow, to informing policy both in sport and in broader areas such as health, education and social policy and as an instrument for monitoring and evaluating the impact of investment. This website provides a clubs directory, an events calendar, details of programmes being rolled out, details of funding available to clubs, local news and useful links.

Publications of interest, from a wide variety of sources, will be gradually added to supplement the existing information.
