Heroes' Welcome For O'Donovan Brothers
Thousands turned out last night to welcome Cork's Olympic silver medallists home.
The O'Donovan Brothers Gary and Paul flew in to Cork Airport to be greeted by thousands of well wishers.
Speaking to us at last night's event, Gary was overwhelmed with the amount of people who turned out.
