Team Ireland were greeted by cheering crowds in Dublin’s city centre.
THE IRISH OLYMPIANS have arrived in Dublin city centre where a huge crowd over 20,000 people gathered to welcome them home from Paris.
Hurdler Sarah Lavin held back tears as she said: “It’s totally surreal. Irish people are the best supporters in the world and we felt it on the track.” After a disappointing finish for the sevens team in Paris, the members on stage said that the team still has the ability to go far in the future and to keep growing the relatively new sport in Ireland.
“I’m sure in LA we’ll be both on the podium,” he said about his brother who was supporting him throughout the Games in Paris. “Now is our chance to tell them in person just how proud we are of them. I have no doubt their efforts will have inspired lots of girls and boys all over the city and country to try and be like them some day,” he said in a statement.
“As President of Ireland, may I extend my congratulations and appreciation to all those Olympians who have represented our country with such distinction over the last two and a half weeks,” he said. — Dublin Airport August 12, 2024 Wiffen illness Cork rower Fintan McCarthy and Sligo swimmer Mona McSharry, two of our medal-winners, carried the Irish flag during the closing ceremony.
