We’ve never been happier to see them.
Martin O’Neill’s men have landed at Dublin Airport, where there is a congregation of Ireland fans gathered to congratulate the team on their spirited performance at Euro 2016.
The lads were knocked out by France yesterday despite a first half performance that befits one of the greatest stages in world football.
Videos are starting to emerge on Twitter of the lads arriving at Dublin export, where they have given a press conference and met hundreds of adoring fans.
They were also greeted by Minister for Sport Shane Ross.
PICS: Dublin Airport Is Absolutely HOPPING As The Boys In Green Return Home
