Is there any talk of holding a reception or similar for him? Hopefully, there will be a public celebration of what he has achieved!

Well it appears it's not the first time he has won a medal. In 2000 he won gold at the time i was not a resident of carlow so cannot not tell you if a celebration was had but anybody i have talked to does not remember there being one :mad:

Have to say all in all i feel the coverage being given is fairly poor when you look at the achievements of the team. :mad:

Would have to agree with you there the coverage of the games has been rubbish, i tend to watch the one hour show on the BBC..Would like to pass on my congrats to all the athletes and the coaching staff and to all the families involved. Go team Ireland :D
