A 'world beating performance package' has been put in place to push our paralympic medal haul in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to a record high.

Budding athletes in a number of sports - plus some of those who have already made it to the winning podium - thronged the new Indoor Arena at the National Sports Campus in Abbotstown yesterday. The day-long event showcased a wide range of paralympian sporting endeavour, in a bid to encourage potential talent to strive for possible Olympic glory in three years' time.
