Thousands descend on Croker for final
Taoiseach: Forgive my bias
Hopes are high for the people of Mayo and Donegal ahead of the All-Ireland football finals in Croke Park.
A capacity crowd of over 80,000 will fill the stadium from lunchtime as fans gather to watch Mayo do battle with Donegal for the Sam Maguire.
Disappointed fans who failed to get a ticket can enjoy a free screening of the match at 10 Odeon cinemas across the country.
It has been 20 years since Donegal brought Sam home in 1992, while Mayo last held the cup in 1951.
The Taoiseach Enda Kenny says although he has family ties in Donegal, his support is firmly behind his home county, Mayo: "My late mother was from Donegal, so it's a first in many ways. Mayo have never played Donegal in a final before and I know my Donegal relations will forgive my county bias on this occasion."
