Good Luck to Damien Vereker and Team Ireland at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games
As the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games draw closer, Waterford City & County Council extends our best wishes to Damien Vereker and all of Team Ireland who will represent Ireland on the world stage.
Damien, originally from Kilkenny and now based in Waterford, is an experienced member of the Ireland Para-cycling National Team. His hard work and commitment to the sport were showcased when he represented Ireland at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where he achieved an impressive 8th place finish.
Training with the Comeragh Cycling Club in Waterford, his partnership with sighted pilot, Donegal’s Mitchell McLaughlin, has been an important factor in his success, with the pair included in a ten athlete strong para-cycling team for the Games. As Damien prepares to compete in Paris, he carries with him the well wishes of communities in Waterford, Kilkenny, and right across the country.
We also extend our best wishes to the entire Team Ireland as they prepare to represent Ireland from 28th August to 8th September in Paris.
Best of luck everyone. We are all behind you.
