GARY AND PAUL O’Donovan lit up the Rio Olympics last summer on their way to a silver medal, and yesterday their efforts were rewarded with a trip to the Áras.
It wasn’t just them though – the whole Skibbereen Rowing Club were honoured at a ceremony with President Michael D Higgins and Sabina.
The best photo of the day happened when the brothers stood in beside Michael D and his dogs Bród and Síoda
