We’re just two days away from the Special Olympic World Games.
Kilkenny athlete Lucy Dollard’s the only local taking part in the event in Abu Dhabi.
But Garda Sgt Gary Gordon, who’s based in Kilkenny city, is involved in the Law Enforcement Torch Run as is Tullow native Pat Kirwan who’s a Sgt in Dungarvan, Co Waterford.
They’ve been touring the seven Emirates & will take part in the event’s official opening on Thursday.
Speaking to The Way It Is last evening, Sgt Gordon said they’ve been having a great time.
