A Co Down horse rider who spoke out against domestic abuse by her former partner has said it’s “beyond my wildest dreams” to have been selected to represent Ireland in this summer’s Olympic Games.

Abi Lyle (39), from Bangor, will be Ireland’s sole representative in the individual dressage event when the Paris Games begin at the end of July.
