Amharc ar fhreagraA key principle of the National Digital Database project, the development of which is being led by Sport Ireland, is the necessity to source and accept data from authoritative sources, in order to ensure the accuracy, reliability and sustainability of the system and its data. Such sources include, in particular, Local Authorities, State Agencies and National Governing Bodies of Sport.
