Brand new episode of podcast Out of Sight with Joe G out today. Jason Smyth MBE Football * Trip2Tipp * Lina Kouzi Equestrian * Paul O'Rahilly Airports No. 1 sprinter, dancer and Liverpool fan Jason Smyth loves playing football for fun. On a break from the World Cup he explains how he adapts his game to compliment his limited sight. We cycled the 30th and final Trip2Tipp fundraising event and chatted with many participants. We met Mary O’Connor and Paul Joyce who got lost and thought they were on the Trip2Limerick! We witnessed an early meeting of Kerry and Dublin as Vision Ireland's Mairead O Mahony took on Joanne McCarney. Billy Shanahan and hist daughter Caitriona crunched the numbers on participants and funds raised for Vision Ireland. Travelling through airports for blind and vision impaired flyers has many challenges. Paul O’Rahilly checks in with lots of top tips. Lina Kouzi, Head of Library Services at Vision Ireland, loves horses. Sometimes on holiday she takes to the stables for a day cantering through the great outdoors.
