PIC: Conor McGregor’s rousing words sum up what the country thinks of the Irish players

We're gone, but we won't be forgotten in a hurry.

At Euro 2012, Irish supporters left a massive impact on the tournament, but the players fell someway short. Four years later, and both the fans and the squad leave with their heads held high. The country is both gutted and proud in equal measure after Martin O'Neill's side went down 2-1 to hosts France in Lyon in the last 16 of Euro 2016, and one man who is joining in with the tributes is Conor McGregor himself.
