Paralympics Ireland will hold a celebration today to recognise the outstanding achievements of Darragh McDonald, Jason Smyth, Catherine Walsh, Francine Meehan and Helen Kearney in winning medals over the weekend.

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

New Zealand’s Phillipa Gray and Laura Thompson set a stunning world record at the Paralympic Games to advance to the women’s blind and visually impaired tandem pursuit final at the London 2012 velodrome.
