Your Impact

It was truly a night to remember as the President of Ireland, Catherine Connelly officially opened the Ireland Summer Games, kicking off an unforgettable celebration of sport, inclusion and community. And that was just the beginning, with the Torch Run, the lighting of the Flame of Hope, a spectacular flyover and incredible entertainment that had athletes, families and supporters up on their feet and dancing. The energy, excitement and sense of togetherness created an atmosphere unlike any other. Relive the magic of an extraordinary opening night that set the stage for an unforgettable Ireland Summer Games.
