Irish boxer John Joe Nevin has missed out on an Olympic gold medal after being defeated by Team GB's Luke Campbell in the bantamweight final.
The 23-year-old, from Mullingar, County Westmeath, was beaten 14-11 at the Excel arena in London.
Team Ireland has had its most successful Olympics for almost 60 years.
The members have five medals, including one gold, one silver and three bronze.
It is the best result since the 1956 games held in Melbourne when Ireland had the exact same final medals.
Katie Taylor won Ireland's first gold
