At 12.30 pm, Dublin City Council will hold a civic reception at the GPO on O'Connell Street.

At its most successful Olympic Games to date, Team Ireland has won seven medals in Paris, including four gold and three bronze. The Olympic Federation of Ireland is organising the event, which is free and available to everyone without the need for tickets.

This is the first time the Irish Olympic team has been welcomed home by the public.

Irish athletes have made us proud in Paris, and we've all loved watching them, said Dublin Lord Mayor James Geoghegan.

"This is our opportunity to express our pride in them to them face-to-face. Their efforts will undoubtedly have motivated many girls and boys around the nation to want to be like them in the future.

"So come along to O’Connell St on Monday and let's give the Irish Team a welcome home to remember!"
