VIDEO: English tests prevent Irish Paralympian from getting Australian citizenship
A rower from Tipperary is being stopped from representing Australia at the 2016 Paralympic Games after repeatedly failing the country’s English language test in order to obtain a visa.
30-year-old Kevin Wall, who has cerebral palsy, moved to Perth from Clonmel in 2011 on a tourist visa and is a mechanic in the city. He now hopes to represent his adopted country at the Rio Paralympics Games after narrowly missing out on selection for the Ireland squad for the London Paralympic Games in 2012.
