Kieran Duggan was on the same flight as Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy that arrived at Dublin Airport from Paris on Tuesday
A man who was on the same flight as gold medallists Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy said he was shocked when they accepted his offer of a lift back to Cork.
Speaking to Red FM's The Neil Prendeville Show, Kieran said: "Fintan said he was going to get the Aircoach if it's not booked out, we were surprised and I was in the car on my own so I said he could jump in with me and we got more surprised when Fintan said he'd take me up on it." He gave Paul, Fintan and Women's Fours Rower Natalie Long a lift back to Cork - but they had so much luggage it was a tight squeeze. Kieran added: "They had twice the normal amount of a family of four because they had been away from home for two months I think.
"I didn't want to be asking too many questions, but they spoke about everything and anything like concentrating on rowing and giving up other sports."
