The Review of SANDSA
Under the then Council’s draft “A Sport and Physical Activity Strategy” Theme 2, Strategic Actions, Point 3, the Council were requested to review its role, structure, and operation with SANDSA. Consequently, the Council felt they needed to give the SANDSA Executive an insight to what’s provisionally planned ahead. As a result, a meeting was to proposed to review SANDSA and the Councils involvement.
During the SANDSA meeting on Tuesday 1 October 2024, in the Canal Court, Newry, the SANDSA committee debated and discussed the following three options:
‘
-
Let the ‘existing state’ remain
-
Decide on a new structure (Executive & DEA’s representation)
-
SANDSA dissolution (‘striking off?) removing it from the registrar of companies (Companies House)
The committee decided on option 2 (highlighted above).
Unfortunately, the decision taken to decide on a new structure didn’t develop within SANDSA. As aresult, the SANDSA Executive will be recalled before the end of 2025 to decide on the future of SANDSA and the way forward.
