Research
In line with Sport Ireland’s Research Strategy 2021-2027, Vision Sports Ireland is working to play its part in generating, capturing and sharing insights of people who are blind or vision impaired, to better understand, respond and develop better solutions to the challenges in accessing and participating in sport and physical activity in Ireland.
Resources
Vision Sports Ireland have a number of resources available to help make sport and physical activity more accessible to people who are blind or vision impaired. Access our ever growing suite of resources including PDF documents and videos.
If you are a governing body interested in making a resource for your sport, please get in touch.
Vision Sports Education Bursary
The bursary is aimed at supporting students with a vision impairment to pursue their academic goals by providing financial assistance of up to €2,000 per annum for the duration of their undergraduate degree up to a maximum of €8,000. The bursary is open to all students who are registered blind or vision impaired in Ireland.
Eyesight Classifications
Classification is an important tool to ensure that athletes are competing fairly with competitors with a similar level of vision, or other impairment.
