Inspiration was flowing at the recent National Outdoor Recreation Conference in the beautiful Slieve Russell Hotel in Cavan. The conference was opened by Minister Dara Calleary, minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht.

Delegates from all over Ireland included LCDCs, County Outdoor Recreation Committee members, Local Authority Staff, Local Sport Partnerships, Rural Recreation officers, Local Development Companies and a myriad of operators from various outdoor recreation interests.

Ideas were shared, workshops were undertaken, and great discussion and participation followed.

All Counties are producing their own Outdoor Recreation Plans which will inform the direction of major capital works for outdoor pursuits. Exciting times ahead.
