SOUTH Dublin Special Olympics Sports Club has returned to training after an absence of 15 months due to COVID-19.
The club, which has more than 70 athletes, saw athletics and basketball return last month while rhythmic gymnastics restarted a few weeks ago.

Since its founding in 1990, the club has achieved tremendous success on national and regional fronts, with some even going as far as representing Team Ireland at successive World Games.
A spokesperson for South Dublin Special Olympics Sports Club said: “During the pandemic, our Network Volunteers worked tirelessly to keep the athletes engaged with weekly zoom bingo, singalongs and in December organised a Drive-By Santa.
“The coaches made their contribution by giving a zoom Keep Fit class every Saturday morning.
“Now everyone is delighted to be returning to training and meeting their friends.
“We are all looking forward to the future with optimism.”
