OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL boxer Katie Taylor told reporters last week that she was looking forward to some downtime after the intensity and excitement of London 2012.

After being welcomed home by the thousands who turned out in Bray last week, the 25-year-old spent today visiting with some of her younger supporters.

Taylor spent the day meeting and chatting to patients at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin:
