Episode 3383: Double World Champ Orla Comerford In Studio, Declan Hannon Says Farewell, McAtamney’s Fate

Wed 22nd Oct 2025

Eoin, Murph, Orla Comerford

Orla Comerford has just come off a sensational year, one which started in Paris in September 2024 when she took a Paralympic bronze medal in the 100m and finished 3 weeks ago with double World Championship golds in the 100 and 200m.

She joins us in studio to chat through the madness of the last 13 months, how she approached knocking the 100 and 200m world record holder off her perch at the World Champs, and how her goals now transcend her own career and feed into growing the Para athletic movement.

We also speak about how Orla integrates Stargardt’s, her visual condition, into her career as an artist, and how a TikTok video she posted in frustration last year helped change people with visual impairment’s experiences of voting ahead of this week’s election.

There’s also a downbeat Jude McAtamney update, and we pay tribute to Limerick’s Declan Hannon, who departs as the most successful captain in the history of the GAA.
