Saint Patrick's Co-ordinators Group

At the St Patrick’s Working Group Committee meeting on 7th November 2008 it was agreed that two new groups should be set up to take forward the St Patrick’s project. This new structure would consist of two groups, a Co-ordinating Group which would consist of predominately the Local Authorities involved, Road Service, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, the Regional Tourism Partnership and NITB. The role of this group being to drive forward the project, agree priorities, make strategic decisions all focused on the regional level and wider Saint Patrick/Christian Heritage Product. The current independent Chair of the current St Patrick Working Group would continue as Chair of the Co-ordinating group. The first meeting of this group took place in January 2009.

The Local Councils, either alone or in a cluster, have agreed to set up St Patrick’s Trail Advisory Groups whose role will be to pull together all local cluster members to guide and decide on local issues, to generate ideas, liaise directly with visitors on the Trail and inform and guide the Co-ordinating Group. These meeting will be chaired by the Local Authority with a representative from NITB in attendance.

Both groups will have two fixed items on their agenda namely:-

• Product Development

• Marketing

NITB will host a St. Patricks Forum bi-annually when both groups will come together to discuss progress.
