Irish Primary PE Association

CONGRATULATIONS to our IPPEA Secretary, Niamh Boylan, on her insightful piece below regarding teaching PE with visually impaired children. 🙌🏻

How do children who can't see learn to run, hop, skip and jump? We know the role sight plays in learning basic movement skills, but what about the 1,360 blind or visually impaired children in Irish schools?

And that’s a wrap for 2026! Huge thanks to our volunteer executive committee for organising today (some missing from picture!). Conference report and more photos to follow…..

Opening address from Michael O Connor-to kickstart our conference 2026
