My son, I loved our native land with energy and pride

Any irish interest coming up today boys?

Just Shane in the swimming? ------ WTF Just saw Lowry and Golf :laughing:

Portarlingtons finest in the pool alright.

Anyone got a clip of the rowing and the celebrations afterwards?

I’m several hundred posts behind on the main Olympics thread, and it may have been answered on it, but why don’t the O’Donovan brothers race together any more?

The other lad’s ears weren’t aerodynamic enough

Its based on merit and Fintan McCarthy is better than Gary O’Donovan
