Ronan Cusack
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates 16-year-old Ronan Cusack from Wishaw on being selected to represent Scotland West in the Special Olympics National Summer Games in August 2017; applauds the young swimmer, who has autism and learning difficulties, on what it considers to be a fantastic achievement and a privilege to represent his area while demonstrating his swimming talent; understands that Ronan is a keen member of the Clyde Valley Beavers, who train at Wishaw Sports Centre, and is among nine of its members taking part in the special games; understands that it costs around £500 for each child to be sent to the games and that Ronan has already received fantastic support from his local community, especially from members of the County Flute Band, in fundraising for the journey; praises the County Flute Band in its commitment to fundraise for Ronan, who is a keen Celtic fan, and wishes Ronan all the very best in his fundraising and in competing in the Special Olympic National Summer Games next year.
