This is your chance to have your say and impact the future of Para sport in Ireland! If you are an athlete involved in Para sport over the age of 18 we want to hear from you.
Paralympics Ireland and the University of Limerick are working together to study the experiences of athletes and coaches in Ireland’s Para pathways, aiming to identify ways to create positive experiences, boost participation, and enhance the sporting environment.
By focusing on the perspectives of those involved, the research hopes to identify factors that contribute to both positive and negative experiences, including barriers, challenges, and opportunities within the pathway.
The goal is to use these insights to develop strategies that create a more inclusive, supportive, and effective environment for Para athletes and coaches.
