‘Active Cavan – A Local Sports Plan for Cavan 2025-2030’
At a launch event on Friday, 6 June in Cavan County Council headquarters at Courthouse Cavan, Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council Cllr TP O’Reilly was joined by fellow elected members, council staff, and key stakeholders in the sporting and active recreation sectors to launch ‘Active Cavan – A Local Sports Plan for Cavan 2025-2030’.
The ’Active Cavan – Local Sports Plan’ saw Cavan County Council participate in a national pilot programme with three other local authorities. The plan sets out an ambitious but achievable vision: That every person in Cavan has the opportunity to be more active, more often.
The plan is guided by three strategic themes that will drive the Cavan Local Sports Plan efforts: Active People and Communities, Active Spaces and Places, and Active Communications and Partnerships.
Speaking at the launch, Cathaoirleach, Cllr TP O’Reilly said, “Cavan County Council’s Local Sports Partnership has been instrumental in promoting sport and physical activity across the county. The development of the Active Cavan plan and the establishment of the councils interdepartmental committee in implementing the plan are essential to the successful implementation of this plan”.
“What makes this plan truly unique is that it is a whole-of-council approach, meaning that sections from planning to housing, climate action to community development, will all have a role in promoting an ‘Active Cavan’”, added Cavan County Council Director of Services Brendan Jennings.
