All-Ireland homecoming

A Dublin Councillor says capacity at Merrion Square isn't big enough for the All-Ireland homecoming and wants it changed.

15,000 tickets went on sale this morning for the event on Sunday and are now sold out.

It will be headlined by Keywest with a family fun day taking place.

Christy Burke says over 100,000 people would turn up to cheer on the men who completed the Drive-for-Five and the ladies who won three-in-a-row.

In a statement, Dublin City Council has said,

"All remaining tickets have been allocated to the Dublin County Board and the Dublin Ladies Gaelic Football Association."

"Information on how to apply for the remaining tickets will be sent out later today by Dublin GAA clubs."

"Dublin City Council & both County Boards strongly urge fans to contact their local club to get tickets for The Homecoming."

"The event was moved from its traditional location in Smithfield as Merrion Square has over twice the audience capacity of Smithfield."
