The Irish team have already claimed 14 gold medals in just the swimming events in the opening days of the European Transplant Games.

The team of 25 athletes have joined more than 1,000 sportspeople at the unique games, which feature competitors who have had organ and stem cell transplants, those on dialysis for kidney disease, and living donors.
