Irish fans say goodbye to France as the journey home begins

With sore heads and perhaps some heavy hearts, the Irish fans are coming home from France, a little sooner than we had hoped but later than we had expected.

And it seems like spirits weren’t too down as the journey began from Lyon.

About to embark on a 9 hour journey home from Lyon, thought of the whole 2 year campaign and how proud I am to be Irish. I cried. #COYBIG
