Amazing ovation greets Ireland women at Dublin Airport

A special tribute awaited the players when they touched back down on home soil.

Welcome home for Ireland women's national team

After sealing a historic first ever World Cup qualification in Glasgow last night, the Ireland women's soccer team flew back into Dublin Airport in the early hours to be greeted by a noisy fanfare from assembled emergency services. 

Amber Barrett's goal secured victory over Scotland that sent Ireland to the Australia and New Zealand showpiece next summer. And FAI CEO Jonathan Hill shared a video of the tribute which awaited the players when they touched back down on home soil.
