LISTEN: Air Traffic Control welcomes Ireland's Olympic team home

We’ve got segments of air traffic control audio as the Irish Olympic team touched down in Dublin Airport this afternoon.

THE IRISH Olympic team have touched down in Dublin Airport after last night’s closing ceremony for the London 2012 games.

The team – including almost all of Ireland’s 66 representatives, and including all five of Ireland’s medallists – touched down at Dublin shortly before 2pm.

The team’s Aer Lingus flight was given a courtesy escort into its gate at the airport’s Terminal 2 to honour its illustrious passengers.

Listen in to the audio here.

TheScore.ie will be reporting live from the homecoming throughout the afternoon.

Note to listeners: the audio provided is curtailed to remove noise and communications with other aircraft. These edits have been marked with a tone.
