While Team Ireland’s time in Paris has come to an end following incredible performances by all its athletes, Olympians and Paralympians will come together for the very first time this Friday night on The Late Late Show.
Host Kielty will welcome medallists home from the summer games and chat to some of Ireland’s athletes.
