Local Labour Party Senator Mary Moran yesterday handed in a petition to RTÉ calling on its Director General Noel Curran to televise the National Special Olympic Games in Limerick this weekend.
The event gets underway tomorrow and runs until Sunday, with Senator Moran requesting that the national broadcaster showcase the opening ceremony and part of the finals.
RTÉ’s Head of Sport Ryle Nugent collected the petition from the mother of five, who was joined at the Donnybrook studios by her son Cillian and well known local swimmer Alex Teeling.
More than 720 people have signed the petition to date and you can still add your name to that tally here.
