Inclusion in sport
In light of its concern that certain societal groups experience lower participation rates in sport, the Committee considers, among other issues, the importance of broad-based funding and accountability for use of funds and the co-design of programmes and policies affecting marginalised communities.
Developing rural tourism
In examining the contribution of tourism to rural communities, the Committee considered the diversification of the rural tourism offering, outdoor recreation and outdoor recreation infrastructure. The Committee also explores the opportunities for sustainable outdoor and nature-based tourism for Gaeltacht areas.
