CLARE Sports Partnership has been nominated for an award at the Irish Sport Industry Awards.

The awards ceremony takes place this Tuesday at the Westin Hotel in Dublin and the Banner team is in the running for the Local Sports Partnership of the Year award.

Mary O’Connor, CEO of the Federation of Irish Sport said, “We are delighted to mark the return of the Irish Sport Industry Awards, in association with Clubforce. Sport is an integral part of the country’s social and economic fabric.

“The quality and large number of the entries received this year are testament to this. We are really looking forward to bringing together key stakeholders in the sports sector for this important evening of recognition of the value of sport to the Irish economy.

“I would like to say a big thank you to the national governing bodies, local sports partnerships and those in the sports sector that submitted entries this year.

“It was imperative for the Federation of Irish Sport to reinstate these awards following the lifting of restrictions and a very difficult two years for the sector.”
