Pathways to Para Sport

In the latest episode of the ISESA Podcast I meet Cliona Horan, Network Manager with Paralympics Ireland. Cliona is passionate about getting people with disabilities into sport and has extensive experience working in various development and sports inclusion disability officer roles with multiple NGBs and sports partnerships around the country. This year, Cliona was responsible for delivering the Permanent TSB Next Gen Community series around Ireland. More than just a “come and try” event, the PTSB NextGen Community Series focuses on empowering individuals with disabilities to explore Para sports in their area and aims to inspire the next generation of Irish Paralympians and provide a pathway for skill development and participation in inclusive sports. With the final event happening Dublin at the weekend, I took the opportunity to show up with my trusty recorder to capture the stories of those in attendance. Hosted on Acast.
