Dubs celebration event set for Smithfield this evening

Dublin GAA fans young and old are invited to Smithfield Square this evening to celebrate the Senior Football Team winning the All-Ireland championship against Kerry yesterday.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithí de Róiste and Dublin City Council will host a special event for the team, backroom staff, Dublin County board and fans this evening at 6.30pm.

There will be entertainment provided on the evening, before the team takes to the stage to be welcomed by MC Marty Morrissey.

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 say they are 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 this evening.
