91 Irish athletes along with hundreds of their friends and families made the trip to the Middle East and we were with them every step of the way.
Team Ireland brought home over 80 medals from the Games in what was an incredible tournament.

#MeetTheDetermined is their motto and I tell you what, that is exactly what we did - from all 7,500 competitors, 3,000 coaches and 20,000 volunteers.
It's a week none of them (or us) will ever forget.
We also caught up with Mairead Ronan ahead of the Dancing with the Stars finalé and in Gift Grub, Roy Keane has a few questions for John Delaney and his €100,000 lodgement to the FAI.
