International Persons with Disabilities Day: Making sport inclusive for all

International Persons with Disabilities day

Despite the introduction of many innovative and inclusive programmes across the country, persons with disabilities in Ireland are more than two times less likely to participate in sport than those without disabilities.

This year’s International Day of People with a Disability (December 3) comes a few months after Ireland’s success at the 2024 Paralympic games in Paris, which showcased how persons with disabilities can amplify their voice and showcase their talent, dedication and leadership through sport.
