WATCH: Limerick Limerick Celtics basketball club lauded for it's disability inclusion

THE Limerick Celtics basketball club has been recognised as a "gold standard" in disability inclusion.

Liberty Insurance AccessAbility Symposium brought together stakeholders, including Sports Ireland, Active Disability Ireland, IWA Sport, Vision Sport Ireland, NCBI, GAA, IRFU, and others to discuss pathways to grow participation rates amongst individuals with disabilities.

The event, organised and hosted by Liberty Insurance, saw lively and thought-provoking discussions throughout the day, with panel discussions focussing on both existing barriers and solutions moving forward. Alongside these discussions, Limerick Celtics was one of three clubs across the country that were singled out for praise for their efforts in supporting individuals with disabilities. 

Following the AccessAbility Symposium, Liberty Insurance will publish a set of recommendations to be shared with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and the Department of Sport, with the shared goal of making sport available to everyone in the community.
