Team Ireland are celebrating another gold medal at the London Games.

This was the weekend that kept on giving for Team Ireland as our Paralympians lifted the country’s medal haul to a magnificent seven.

Three years ago Catherine Walsh made history when she became Ireland’s first paracycling medal winner at a major event with silver at the World Track Championship alongside sighted pilot Fran Meehan.

President Michael D Higgins has said that Ireland’s medal-winning Paralympians are a symbol of the team’s determination.

After winning three gold medals in London yesterday, Team Ireland have secured another medal today.

When Bethany Firth touched the wall after one minute and 8.93 seconds of the 100m backstroke S14 final shortly before 8pm last night she thought she had done enough to win a bronze.

Matthew Brammeier’s appeal to be included for selection in the three-man Ireland Olympic road race team has been unsuccessful.

Ireland’s women’s tandem pursuit pair of Catherine Walsh and Fran Meehan won gold at the Paracycling Track World Championship in Carson, LA yesterday.
