EXCITING scenes took place over the weekend at Shannon Airport as they welcomed one of the country’s all-time greatest sporting legends, Katie Taylor.
The Olympic medalist and world champion was greeted by the airport’s Duty Airport Manager, Airport Screening Unit (ASU) members, and Shannon Airport Duty Free members ahead of her Aer Lingus flight back to the US, where she is currently based.
Katie also met with the Clare U21 hurling manager and St Flannans Harty Cup winning manager on their way to the USA.
On Friday, Wicklow-born Katie visited Killarney for her ‘Exclusive Evening With Katie Taylor’ event at Gleneagle Arena, featuring a live interview and audience Q&A.
With a current record of 25 wins, Katie’s last fight took place against Amanda Serrano in July of last year in New York. She won by majority decision in the 10th round.
