Katie Taylor overcome by emotional return in her hometown of Bray

Some posters were a tad premature in accounting zero gold - zero silver - and zero bronze medals for Team Ireland, compared to Team GBs 66 or more, largely by Afro-Carribean Olympians - Team Commonwealth of Nations? Also neglecting to mention that two Team Ireland competitors were from Northern Ireland. Hardly what you'd expect from professional accountants with firsts (gold?) in economics. The balance sheet should've read: One gold (boxing) - two silver (boxing/showjumping) - two bronze (boxing). Cheers!

look at round 3 again in slow motion on YouTube the real score was i-1 her gold is as good as Michelle Smiths sorry to burst your bubble

Cool!

A noble spirit

Yes, I was there. A great day, everything was perfect - the crowd, the reception for Katie, the weather, the music, the craic - just what you need for a day at the seaside!
