Paralympics Ireland welcomes the
decision of the International Paralympic Committee to exclude athletes
representing National Paralympic Committee’s from Russia and Belarus from the
Winter Paralympic Games.
Excluding any athlete from Paralympic
competition is an extremely difficult decision to take at any time. We commend
the governing board of the International Paralympic Committee for listening to
the athletes, NPC’s and stakeholders and reaching this decision today.
We hope that the athletes competing
at the Winter Paralympic Games have a safe and rewarding experience.
Our thoughts remain with the people
of Ukraine at this very difficult time.
