As the Paralympics draw to a close tonight in London, I want to
congratulate all of the Irish athletes who have taken part in this hugely
successful championships. I had the pleasure and the privilege to meet
members of the team during my visit to London last week. Their efforts and
results are truly inspiring. The record medal haul at the London 2012
