Paralympics is important for us. It is an important target for the country, as well as the Olympics. Indeed, a number of sporting organisations that I have met recently have been talking about Paralympics. I attended a qualifications process for the Olympics and the Paralympics together in a particular sport as well. I can see a lot of work happening. Where there are gaps, I certainly want to be of help. Of course, I am more than happy to engage - I have done so informally - with Paralympics Ireland and its sister organisation, the Olympic Federation of Ireland, at any time and to hear more from the Senator as well.
