Thousands turn out for Dubs' 'homecoming' in Merrion Square

Dublin fans turned out in force tonight to salute Jim Gavin, Stephen Cluxton and the 2013 All-Ireland winning panel at the 'homecoming' event in Merrion Square.

Thousands thronged the capital's streets and made it a sea of blue near Government buildings to cheer on the Dublin players who beat Mayo by a point in yesterday's final to regain the Sam Maguire Cup they also won in 2011.
