And even though we all know that it's a huge honour to step up and represent at this event, winning is always nice too. Paralympics Ireland put out this release with the full list:

"Five reigning world champions will line up for Team Ireland – athletics’ Michael McKillop and Catherine O’Neill, plus cyclists Mark Rohan, Catherine Walsh and Colin Lynch. McKillop and fellow track star Jason Smyth will also defend the Paralympic titles they won at Beijing 2008. In addition, Ireland will compete for the first time ever in the sports of shooting and rowing at the Games."

The men and women together are listed here on Paralympics Ireland.
