Get Ireland Walking is a Sport Ireland initiative, supported by Healthy Ireland and hosted by Mountaineering Ireland. The initiative and its operations are closely monitored, measured and shaped by its National Steering Group. The Steering Group members are representatives of the stakeholder bodies and are chaired by Sport Ireland.
2023 Strategy Launch
In 2023, the Get Ireland Walking Steering Group launched its second Strategy 2023-2027, with support from our government ministers and departments, sport and health.
At its core, the new strategy has adopted the four quadrants of the Global Action Plan for Physical Activity (GAPPA) to create: Active Societies, Active Environments, Active People and Active Systems through the activity of walking and strategic collaboration projects with key stakeholders.
