Ireland at a standstill as boxing hero Katie Taylor will fight for gold – VIDEO

Blessed be the peacemaker. For hers is the kingdom of heaven. If a person strikes you on one cheek, offer to her the other. She who lives by the sword shall die by the sword. Competition sucks! Funny how neither Protestant nor Catholic orthodoxies really get the Christian message. Come down from the Bray head Katie Taylor. There's better mountain dew to be flavoured.

Congrates Katie on winning the GOLD...maith an cailin!

I'd hate to close the pub and have her open the door for me!

Must not forget John Mitchel who's sacrifice made us non Ukers. Love of Ireland was his leading passion, and to her cause he had devoted his splendid gifts, and sacri- ficed everything that men hold most precious. England had passed a special law in her Parliament, and had elaborately packed a jury from his bitterest enemies, in order to have him declared a felon. Honor be due this hero who rests in Newry and on this great day our hero is beautiful female.

Brilliant Katie, just seen her fight and winning Gold,what a girl the whole country is very proud.

Ireland's hero - what a talent Long may she reign
