It was a very happy Thursday in Tokyo for Team Ireland, as Ellen Keane took a dramatic gold medal home in the SB8 100m breaststroke to kick off the Irish medal tally of the Paralympics. There's some big hitters in action on day three of the Paralympics for Ireland, and we have all the info on when to catch them.
Who are the Irish in action on day three of the Paralympics?
16-year-old Róisín Ní Riain has been one of Ireland's biggest stars on the first few days of the Paralympics, reaching the final of both the S13 100m backstroke and butterfly - and she has a shot at another final on day three. She will go in the 400m freestyle heats at 2:39am, with a potential final at 11:33am.
