Ireland has a good track record at the Paralympics – taking home 16 medals from London in 2012 and 11 from Rio De Janeiro in 2016.

While world-renowned tenor and current local Covid vaccinator Ronan Tynan from Johnstown has a haul from both the 1984 and 88 games.

Eimear Breathnach, President of Paralympics Ireland, says she’s optimistic there will be more success this year.

Coverage will be screened on Irish TV from 11:50am this morning.
