It's on to Day 2 of the Paralympics in Tokyo as Team Ireland push on in their quest to gather medals.

Ellen Keane is in the pool in her 100m breaststroke heat. If she can negotiate that she will be back for the final later in the morning.

Róisín Ní Riain is also back in the water after finishing eighth in Wednesday's S13 100m butterfly final. The 16-year-old, swimming at her first Paralympics, competes in the 100m Backstroke.

In track cycling Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal have their time trial final, as does Ronan Grimes, while our equestrian representatives Rosemary Gaffney and Tasmin Addison are also out.

Meanwhile Colin Judge has his second table tennis match.
