Mayor of Paris to honour ‘model’ Irish football supporters
Paris is to honour Irish football supporters, from both the Republic and Northern Ireland, for their behaviour during Euro 2016. The city’s mayor, Anne Hidalgo, said she would award the fans the “Medal of the City of Paris” in recognition of their “exemplary attitude” during the tournament. Thanking them for their contribution to the festive atmosphere created over the past fortnight, she called them “a model for the supporters of the world”. The Paris medal has been awarded periodically since 1911 for “exceptional behaviour”. Read more on the Irish Times website
