Show Notes
Our guest this week is Jason Craughwell who is the coordinator of the Galway Sports Partnership. Galway Sports Partnership is an initiative of the Irish Sports Council to create a national structure to co-ordinate and promote the development of sport at local level.
The main aim of Galway Sports Partnership is to increase the level of participation in sport, recreation and physical activity, to ensure that local resources are used to best effect and that sustainable structures are established to assist those involved in sport development with particular emphasis on groups who have low participation rates.
The Galway City – Your Council series can be listened to every Tuesday where we will be chatting to some of the people who deliver Galway City Council’s services and celebrate the valuable work they do in Galway City.
As the local authority for Ireland’s third largest city - a leader in culture, education and business - Galway City Council is delivering services for a population of 83,456, with a 2023 revenue budget of €113 million, and a capital budget of around €5 billion over the next decade.
