View answerThe creation of a National Digital Database of Sport and Recreation facilities is a multi-phased development project, led by Sport Ireland, that allows for expansion to all-island coverage. Some data will already cover the 32 counties, particularly information on clubs from National Governing Bodies who operate on an all-island basis. The Sport Ireland project development team is working with relevant agencies in Northern Ireland to harmonise data models, in order to allow for data sharing and to explore opportunities for further collaboration in future phases.
