Mayo sports partnership launch outdoor recreation stakeholder forum

Mayo Sports Partnership, in collaboration with the County Outdoor Recreation Committee for Mayo, is inviting all interested stakeholders to attend one of four Mayo Outdoor Recreation Stakeholder Forum events taking place across the county this November.

The aim of the Stakeholder Forum is to establish a two-way dialogue on the development and management of outdoor recreation in County Mayo. The events will include updates on the implementation of the Mayo Outdoor Recreation Plan 2026-2030, which was launched earlier this year, and will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to share their views on the future development of outdoor recreation in Mayo.

The Stakeholder Forum events will take place at the following locations: Monday, November 16, 7pm to 8pm, Béal an Mhuirtheadh Civic Centre, F26 W5H0; Tuesday, November 17, 7pm to 8pm, Castlecourt Hotel, Westport, F28 NX84; Wednesday, November 18, 7pm to 8pm, Claremorris Family Resource Centre, F12 H2C2; Thursday, November 19, 7pm to 8pm, Kennedy Glasgow House, Ballina, F26 RH58.

Tom Gilligan, Director of Services with Mayo County Council and Chair of the Mayo Outdoor Recreation Committee, said: “As Chair of the Committee, I am delighted to see the Outdoor Recreation Stakeholder Forum being established. This is an important step in the implementation of the Mayo Outdoor Recreation Plan 2026-2030 and provides an opportunity for stakeholders from across the county to have their say on the future of outdoor recreation in Mayo.”

Key action

Kieran Reilly, Outdoor Recreation Officer with Mayo Sports Partnership, said: “The establishment of the Stakeholder Forum is a key action within the Mayo Outdoor Recreation Plan 2026-2030. The Forum provides an excellent opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the development of outdoor recreation across the county. Mayo Sports Partnership and the County Outdoor Recreation Committee are keen to engage with as many stakeholders as possible, and we have organised four meetings across Mayo to facilitate this. We would encourage outdoor recreation clubs, organisations, activity providers, landowners, community groups and all relevant stakeholders to attend.”
