The official partners include the Irish Institute of Sport which oversees the carding of the elite athletes and has partnered the PCI in the development of acclimatisation strategies for Beijing, and in the performance planning for the team. The National Coaching and Training Centre in Limerick provides direct support on the team’s physiology programme, and hosts the PCI’s whole team training camps. Sport Northern Ireland has recently reached agreement to directly part fund the Irish team and SINI (Sports Institute Northern Ireland) provides direct athlete service support to athletes based in the North.
O’Neills provides significant in-kind support to the Irish team as the official kit supplier to the Irish team for Beijing, and also for London 2012. The Irish kit will be unveiled at the official team announcement on Wednesday (2nd July). The Irish Sports Council is the leading financier of the Irish Paralympic team providing over 1.2million Euro in support to the organisation and the athletes this year.
