PICS: Dublin Airport Is Absolutely HOPPING As The Boys In Green Return Home

What a fortnight that was.

And for giving us a bunch of incredible moments we'll never forget – from the Hoolahan opener, to the Brady header that we'll be talking about for generations – it's only fair that they should get a heroes' welcome. 

And that's exactly what they got today in Dublin Airport.

There was the anticipation...
