Ireland's most successful Paralympic team ever touched down tonight with 16 medals en tow, receiving a rapturous reception from the thousands of well-wishers at Dublin Airport.

Wexford's Daragh McDonald is in 50 metres freestyle final this evening having come eighth overall in this morning's heats.

It is another busy day for Team Ireland at the Paralympics today after Michael McKillop's second gold medal in the T37 1,500m race last night.
