Amharc ar fhreagraIn keeping with the recommendation in the Task Force Report on Active Citizenship, an audit of community, sports and arts facilities at local level was commenced in the second half of 2008 by each County and City Council, under the auspices of the relevant County/City Development Board and in line with guidelines issued by my Department. These guidelines were developed in consultation with the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, the Department of the Taoiseach and local authorities. Thirty two local authorities have carried out audits of community facilities and two audits are in progress at this time. On completion of the audits, appropriate arrangements will be made for the local authorities to make them available.
