The Irish rugby squad have arrived at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin.
The team sealed an historic Grand Slam with a 24-15 win against England in the final round of the Six Nations yesterday at Twickenham.
Replacement out-half Joey Carbery says it was a special moment in the dressing room after the game.
"it's incredibly special," he said. "I think everyone was just trying to take it all in and make sure we remember all these moments because it's a pretty special thing today."
The team were greeted with a special guard of honour after they touched down at Dublin Airport this afternoon.
A fleet of airport emergency vehicles escorted the flight after it touched down to its stand after the flight from Heathrow.
A planned homecoming event scheduled for the Aviva Stadium had to be cancelled due to the bad weather.
