Paralympics Ireland has launched Faster Together – Níos Tapúla Le Chéile, a new initiative focused on developing a 4x100m Universal Relay programme for Ireland.
The programme will begin in 2026, with a structured approach aimed at introducing the event to athletes and coaches, while laying the foundations for future international competition.
