So lucky to have had a chance to celebrate those superb sporting performances of the past few weeks, at London's party for the Irish Paralympic team!  An opportunity to congratulate the sportsmen and women themselves, and acknowledge the team of people who supported their participation in a variety of ways.  All the enthusiasm you'd expect of a great party, in the striking setting of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel.  A lively conversation gave rise to a moment of special pride for Donal in discovering that Mark Rohan, gold medallist in the 48km men's individual H1 road race, is from Ballinahown just outside his own home town of Mullingar.
