The Minister for Sport embarrassed himself at Katie Taylor's homecoming
If you watched the news yesterday, you may have seen the homecoming of the wonderful Katie Taylor at Dublin Airport.
The Irish boxer arrived back from the States carrying her multiple belts as the Undisputed Champion of the World, following her bout with Delfine Persoon.
However, one person who made his unwarranted presence known as she posed for photos was Minister for Sport Shane Ross, who buzzed around behind Taylor like an annoying fruit fly.

Ross was roundly criticised for not allowing her space to enjoy her achievement - and now, people have been taking the absolute mick by inserting the photobombing glory-hunter into other historical and sporting events.
And, well, some of them are absolutely brilliant.
Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since Shane Ross sat my Leaving Cert
