Just when you thought the Olympic excitement was all over - the next round begins.

29 August up until 9 September 2012, and it promises to be another global highlight.

The Games will see an incredible 4,200 athletes from 150 countries - the greatest ever number of competing elite Paralympic athletes.

Greetings,

Well done to Katie Taylor for punching gold despite the weight of a nations expectation on her shoulders.

We hope all the Irish athletes are holding their heads up high after their incredible achievements; the years of dedication and effort in preparation, qualifying for an Olympic Games and competing against the worlds best athletes. We hope you inspire future generations to aim as high as you did. Well done Team Ireland.
