With more options and activities freely available across Ireland, there has never been a better time to get physically active. In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast, we explore the positive developments and initiatives happening to encourage everyone to get active. Host Eamon Keogh speaks with Louise Burke, Director of Participation, Sport Ireland, the national state agency tasked with developing sport in Ireland. Louise talks about the vision of Sport Ireland; to encourage people of all ages to participate in sport at any level for the benefit of their health, with the help of the development of local sports plans and outdoor recreation strategies, and working with the Local Sports Partnerships and the HSE to drive community engagement.
