WELCOME BACK DEARBHAILE BRADY - Q&A

We recently welcomed Paralympian, Dearbhaile Brady back and hosted a special whole school assembly to acknowledge her

achievements in Paris and demonstrate some measure of how she continues to inspire us in our sporting endeavours and personal goals.

Dearbhaile shared some of her experiences with us through a Q&A with Head of P.E., Mr. O'Callaghan - a truly inspiring

occasion with insight into the world of an elite athlete and the unseen training commitments undertaken every day.

Thank you Dearbhaile, we all wish you well with your new training schedules and future competitions.
