N2 - For the first time, data on children and adolescents with disabilities in Ireland are reported based on the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance Para Report Card methodology. The most recent data from the last 10 years were used in the grading process (A+ to F), and indicators with insufficient datawere graded as incomplete. Of the 10 indicators from the GlobalMatrix Para Report Cards, grades were assigned to Overall PhysicalActivity (F), Organized Sport (D),Active Transport (D−), Sedentary Behaviors (D−), Family&Peers (C), School (C−), Community&Environment (B−), and Government (B). Irish disability sport organizations were invited to assess the research-led audit and provided commentary around the final grading. The contextual discussion of the grades is presented through the lens of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats with the purpose being to provide direction for the reduction of physical activity disparities among children with disabilities.
