Congratulations have been pouring in from all over Ireland for Glenade's Déarbhla Rooney in the wake of her bronze medal at the Youth Olympic Games on Wednesday evening in Argentina, including from Olympians and even a Dublin All-Ireland winning Gaelic footballer.
With social media such a feature of life today, reaction to Déarbhla's win has been swift and joyous with former Olympian and current Irish Amateur Boxing Association High Performance Director Bernard Dunne leading the congratulations.
A great couple of days for Irish boxing, winning 2 gold, 3 silver and 8 bronze medals at the European Junior Championships and then Dearbhla Rooney goes and wins a Bronze medal at the youth Olympic games. Huge congrats to all involved. #TeamIreand
