Homecoming row �ruining Games�

The father of golden girl Katie Taylor has said the unseemly dispute surrounding the homecoming of the record-equalling Irish team has spoiled his Olympics.

Peter Taylor was left fuming by erroneous reports that he intervened to prevent Ireland�s boxing heroes committing to a homecoming through the streets of Dublin today.

In a statement issued at 10.15 last night, following a day of uncertainty, the OCI said a formal homecoming event would be held at the Mansion House in Dublin on Wednesday at lunchtime.
