It was Ireland’s first Olympic gold medal since 2012, its 10th in total, and its first in rowing

In August 1938 , when his health was already poor, he wrote his final poem - Under Ben Bulben
Under bare Ben Bulben's head
In Drumcliffe Churchyard Yeats is laid,
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago; a Church stands near.
By the road an ancient Cross
No marble, no conventional phrase,
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut :
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by !
