Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Sports Capital Programme: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. David McGill:
Mr. McDermott referred to para-badminton. We also run a para-badminton event. It is the second largest event we run during the year. It is an international event. Thanks to the use of the National Sports Campus facilities, it has become the biggest in Europe. It attracts 180 participants from around Europe annually. We run it in June. It has been very beneficial for promoting para-badminton in Ireland. We have started a para-badminton academy on the back of it and this will be run out of the National Sports Campus.
