Access to Smithfield Square is from North King Street, Friary Avenue and Thundercut Alley. Those attending are asked to follow the event signage and stewards’ instructions.

Dublin City Council is asking people to use public transport when travelling to and from the event, which is a family-friendly alcohol-free event.

The Lord Mayor said: “Winning an All-Ireland title is always amazing, but beating Kerry in the final? It doesn’t come much better than that! I can’t wait to see everyone in Smithfield tomorrow evening. Let’s have a party and celebrate the boys in blue!”

To celebrate the team’s achievement, Beckett Bridge and the Smithfield Sails will light up in blue on Sunday and Monday.
