A bumper schedule awaits Team Ireland today, on day six, with five Para swimmers all in action.
Ellen Keane will bring the curtain down on her career, heading to the blocks for her last event (S9 100m Backstroke) before she steps away from the pool, while Nicole Turner and Dearbhaile Brady both compete in the S6 50m Butterfly, Turner looking to defend her Tokyo 2020 silver medal.
Also in the water for his first Paris 2024 outing is National Centre Ulster’s Barry McClements, competing in the 100m Backstroke(S9).
Paralympic silver medallist, Róisín Ní Riain will be the fifth swimmer in the morning session in the 200m IM (SM13).
Orla Comerford races in the T13 100 metre heats in the morning and the final just after Roisin Ni Riains if she qualifies.
Kate Kerr-Horan, Jessica McKiernan and Michael Murphy are in individual competition at the Palace of Versailles in Para Equestrian.
