Comhghairdeas to Katie TaylorNew
Comhghairdeas to Katie Taylor on an extraordinary achievement.
What an incredibly special and emotional night at Croke Park, in the heart of Dublin.
To see Katie become the Undisputed Champion on home soil, surrounded by the passion, pride and support of her people, was truly something unforgettable.
An absolute spectacle from beginning to end — but more than that, a moment that filled the heart with pride. Katie has inspired so many, and tonight she gave Ireland another sporting moment we will never forget.
So proud to be Irish today.

A shared history of colonisation and resistance? In the link below you can watch as Moana travels to Ireland, the homeland of her mother’s whānau, to discover just how similar the Māori and Irish cultures really are in a special full-length episode.
