I was delighted to participate in the Clogherhead Beach Polar Plunge over the weekend to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Ireland. The Polar Plunge at Clogherhead was one of many polar plunges taking place across the country this December. 'This is my fourth year taking the plunge for Special Olympics and I am delighted that this year we were able to bring this great event to Co. Louth. I was delighted to support and assist in the preparations for the Clogherhead Beach Polar Plunge.
'We had an excellent turn out on Saturday with many local people and groups participating including soldiers from the Dundalk Barracks and Fr Michael Cusack from the Redemptorist who had to rush back to Dundalk in order to celebrate a wedding mass.
'Special Olympics Ireland is an organisation that is close to my heart and provides an invaluable resource for many families and individuals with an intellectual disability. It has been my honour to raise the great work of Special Olympics in the Seanad over the last three years and to participate in events such as the Polar Plunge.
'I would like to thank everyone who donated and participated in the Clogherhead Beach Polar Plunge. The generous support many have shown over the last number of weeks is greatly appreciated.'
