As part of the build up to the Special Olympics, during the torch run they stopped off in Moyross and visited Corpus Christi Primary School on Wednesday 9th June 2010. CAPTION: Police lead the way through Moyross with the torch closely behind.
The Special Olympics took place in Limerick last week 10th to 13th June and was a huge success with a fantastic spectacle for the opening ceremony in Thomond Park.
The torch was carried in by Garda Deirdre O'Doherty from Cosgrave Park who is now stationed in Ennis. Principal Aine Cremin welcomed all the visitors including former Irish soccer star and hero of Italia 90 Packie Bonnar who is a Special Olympics Ambassador. The Special Olympics is an inspirational event with athletes from all over the country competing and trying their best in a spirit of friendship. The children who got their photographs taken with the torch were definitely inspired by the courage and commitment shown by the athletes.
