Special Olympics roars into action

A CELEBRATION cascaded through the hard man territory of Thomond Park last night as more than 15,000 people gathered for the opening of Special Olympics Ireland.

Over the coming days it beckons the gallantry and camaraderie of more than 1,900 athletes.

After the parade of athletes around the stadium, Dolores O’Riordan and The Cranberries rocked the night away.
