World Special Olympics Summer Games- Message from John Treacy

Best wishes to all of the Irish World Special Olympic Summer Games travelling party - the 143 athletes, 55 coaches, 200 volunteers and 400 family and friends, as you embark on your travels to the Games in Shanghai.

I have no doubt that you will be wonderful ambassadors for our country and that you will perform with distinction throughout the course of the Games.

Yours in sport

John Treacy

Chief Executive - Irish Sports Council
