In 2019, the International Paralympic Committee produced a new strategy that highlighted the need to promote disability activism through Para sport. The purpose of this study is to understand what promoting disability activism through Para sport means to key stakeholders within an Irish national-level sociopolitical and Para sport context. Three groups of Irish stakeholders participated in interviews. Data were analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes were generated: social responsibility, identity performance, and Paralympic discourse. Within each theme, different stakeholders drew on different activist discourses to argue for and against promoting activism. This article poses significant challenges to the International Paralympic Committee’s strategy. Challenges are addressed by highlighting nine activist discourses that could have practical implications when promoting activism in different sociopolitical and Para sport contexts.

2019年，国际残奥会委员会制定了一项新战略，强调了通过残疾人运动促进残疾人行动的必要性。这项研究的目的是了解在爱尔兰国家一级的社会政治和残疾人运动背景下，通过残疾人运动促进残疾人积极行动对关键利益相关者的意义。三组爱尔兰利益相关者参加了采访。使用反思性主题分析来分析数据。产生了三个主题：社会责任，身份表现和残奥话语。在每个主题内，不同的利益相关者利用不同的激进主义者的话语来主张和反对促进激进主义。本文对国际残奥委员会的战略提出了重大挑战。
