The pride of Dublin. Well done Katie brilliant

Well done Katie - a true superstar

well done KATIE...

Dublin?

Fantastic girl what a athlete as the song says "a Real Hero". Here's hoping that all sporting girls, who want to play sport, who want to play to the highest level at their chosen sports will get the encouragement their efforts deserve. Katie Taylor a super hero.

She may sound like a Northsider but she's a Wicklow girl

Bray is a strange place... everyone I personally know that lives there would support the Dubs

but she's def a Wicklow girl

A fantastic county. One of the most beautiful places in the world...

Great to see two working class Clondalkin lads in rte studios doing well for themselves, up the Dalkin.

Legend, delighted for her.

Ssssshh with the parochial nonsense, she's an Irish girl who has done us proud.

Brilliant stuff. Shes a great role model for kids. Great day for Irish sport

Jimbo she's from the north estates of bray which are in Dublin , her Ma is pure inner city Dub. I guarantee you she would say she's a Dub if you asked her privately.

Absolutely superb! Fair play to Katie she has given an entire nation a lift.
