EQUESTRIAN and riding clubs have been encouraged to join the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown (DLR) Sports Partnership after equestrian sport was added to the new Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Sport and Physical Activity Plan, which was passed in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council meeting this week.

Cllr Pierce Dargan, a Fine Gael councillor in Glencullen, Sandyford, praised the plan after his amendment to add equestrian sport, which had not been included in the original draft of the plan, was included in the final plan that was passed.
