LETR Rep. of Ireland is run by volunteer members of An Garda Siochana, the Republic's National Police Force, dedicated to supporting and raising funds for Special Olympics Ireland along with taking the Flame of Hope(R) across the country to raise awareness of people with intellectual disabilities. Along with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, the Torch Run Programme partners with Special Olympic Athletes across the Island of Ireland to raise awareness of people with intellectual disabilities. As well as taking the Torch, the Flame of Hope (R) to the Summer Games, the LETR raises much needed funds for Special Olympics in the regions.

Special Olympics Polar Plunge Season is hopefully coming again this December!

Do you dare to join us? Last year our events were over subscribed so make sure you sign up early!


Organised by Special Olympics Ireland and the Law Enforcement Torch Run Committee we are calling on you to take part in this "hilarious" event in aid of Special Olympics. 

What is the Polar Plunge?
The Polar Plunge dares you to jump into freezing cold water, hence the name Freezin' for a Reason!
Not only do you get the chance to re-invigorate your body but it's a great way to kick of your Christmas season as we have plenty of festive cheer at our plunge locations.
