Cyclists honoured at Paris Paralympics Award Gala


Team Ireland gathered once again in the RDS for the Paralympics Ireland Paris 2024 Ball, celebrating the outstanding achievements and contributions of all those involved in the success of the Paralympic Games this summer.


Over 250 guests including Minister of State at the Department of Sport Thomas Byrne, family, and friends attended on the night where several athletes were recognised for their individual performances and commitment to Team Ireland.


For the second time in a row, Katie George Dunlevy was crowned the Aer Lingus Outstanding Female Performance, this time alongside pilot Linda Kelly. The duo forged a formidable partnership over the last couple of years that culminated in two Paralympic medals on the road, gold in the Time Trial followed by silver in the Road Race. Dunlevy also won silver on the track with long-time pilot Eve McCrystal to solidify her place as one of Ireland's greatest-ever Paralympians. The Aer Lingus Outstanding Male Performance was also awarded to a tandem bike, Martin Gordon and Eoin Mullen collecting the silverware after setting a new Irish record in the Men’s B 1000m Time Trial despite suffering a crash just days beforehand.


Congratulations to all athletes and award winners on the night.
