The Girls in Green will be welcomed home from the Women’s World World Cup this coming Thursday.

The Republic of Ireland team will be rewarded with a public reception on O’Connell Street in front of the GPO beginning at 6.30pm.

There will be entertainment provided on the evening by Block Rockin’ Beats DJ Dec Pierce, before the team takes to the stage to be welcomed by MC Dave Moore from Today FM. 

“We’ve all enjoyed watching the Girls in Green do us proud in Australia,” said the Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste.

“Now is our chance to tell them in person just how proud we are of them. I have no doubt their efforts will have inspired lots of girls and boys all over the city to try and be like them some day.”

Dublin City Council is asking people to use public transport when travelling to and from the event, which is a family-friendly, alcohol-free event.

Luas Green Line services will be suspended between Dominic and St. Stephen’s Green Luas Stops from 2.30pm until last tram to facilitate the event.

Luas Green Line services will run between Broombridge and Dominic Luas Stops, and from St. Stephen’s Green to Sandyford / Brides Glen Luas Stops only during this time. Valid Luas tickets will be accepted on Dublin Bus.

Members of the public are asked to enter O'Connell St. from the O'Connell St. Bridge end.
