The Local Sports Partnership Coordinator is employed by Carlow County Council and reports to the Steering Committee of the LSP.  Each LSP decides the priorities to be assigned to the Coordinator’s work, but in general their role will be the coordination of the planning process for the LSP, and the overseeing of the agreed plan. The Coordinator also acts as secretary to the LSP, facilitates meetings of the LSP Steering Committee, and liaise closely with the Sport Ireland to act as a conduit for information between national and local developments. The Coordinator is responsible for the implementation of the local sports strategy, encompassing elements such as education programmes and local participation initiatives.
