Fans watch the Katie Taylor fight in Bray Photocall Ireland

Poll: will you attend an Olympics homecoming?

Will you be heading out with your Irish flag to welcome Katie and co home?

THERE’LL BE THOUSANDS at the airport, thousands in Bray, and who knows how many else in Dublin city, Mullingar and other places around the country to welcome back Ireland’s Olympic heroes?

Hundreds of thousands lined the streets of Dublin city centre when the Irish team returned home from Italia ’90, while every year the winning All-Ireland teams are treated like royalty when they bring the cups home.

So what about you this time round? Will you be donning something green and heading out to one of the venues around the country to welcome home Katie Taylor, John Joe Nevin, Michael Conlan, Paddy Barnes and our other Olympians who have yet to make the journey back from London 2012?
