DUBLIN FANS WILL get their chances to celebrate again tomorrow evening as the homecoming for the 2018 All-Ireland champions will take place at Smithfield Square at 6.30pm.
The Dublin senior footballers this afternoon secured their fourth All-Ireland win in a row after beating Tyrone by six points.
Lord Mayor Nial Ring and Dublin City Council will host the event for the team, backroom staff, the Dublin county board and “true blue fans”.
“Tomorrow evening will be a chance for the people of Dublin to come out and give the Dubs and Sam the welcome they so thoroughly deserve,” Ring said.
Access to the event in Smithfield Plaza is from North King Street, Friary Avenue and Thundercut Alley.
Those attending are asked to follow the event signage and stewards’ instructions.
A map of access points to the plaza is available here.
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.
Fans are being warned that the Smithfield Luas Stop may be closed between 6pm and 8pm. The Luas stops at the Four Courts and Museum stop will remain open during this time.
“Four in a row is a magnificent achievement and is a fitting reward for the Dublin players, backroom staff and manager who have shown such commitment, dedication and professionalism in their quest for this rare honour,” Ring said.
“Let’s all come together to show our beloved Dubs our appreciation and gratitude as the party continues. Baile Átha Cliath Abú.”

@BigNuts: the strive for five
@Frainc Ó Broin: the drive for five didn’t work too well for Kilkenny.
Maybe the strive for five might be better
Congrats Dublin. A fine championship campaign.
Homecoming? Sure they didn’t live the county even…
@Veronica: If they don’t have a home comming then the GAA higher up won’t have another day/night in the lime light.
@Veronica: don’t body cares, jog on loser
@Treabhair Coulahan:
Veronica is a loser with her view with men in general
Nothing to be proud of Dublin considering you have all the money and over quarter of the population.
@JesusMoreBullshit: Dublin need every penny they receive, their silver polish bill alone must be astronomical, six All Irelands , five National leagues, and eight Leinster titles in the last eight years ,imagine the work keeping all of those medals shining.
@JesusMoreBullshit: Jesusverbal dirahealla
Unfortunately youd have to think that people will start turning away the football championship. Was in Croke Park today and it was awful viewing. Dublin play puke football. Great athletes buy terrible to watch.
@Donnacha Bhoicaire: Stop being silly.
@Treabhair Coulahan: Very boring. Not for me. Worst final in years
@Donnacha Bhoicaire: you clearly don’t have a clue you’re talking about. Dublin have set a standard that last four years and it’s up to other teams to match it. It was all fun and games when Dublin won jack shit for ten years and now everyone moans about them
@Donnacha Bhoicaire: stay off the sause
@David O’Shaughnessy: Dont bite David…. A wise man once told me, “you can talk to a man with a wooden leg but you cant talk to a man with a wooden head”
@Treabhair Coulahan: Shall I change the subject ? Maybe resite the weather forecast might be a bit more intresting than what is going on here. LOL
Seamus Darby coming out of retirement
Great team but poor enough championship largely due to Dublin’s superiority…even Cluxton’s speech was boring.
@The Second Last Word: Now in fairness Cluxton’s speech is always boring.
@The Second Last Word: I think it’s less about Dublin’s superiority and more about the lack of it coming from other counties. Not sure if you watched the Sunday game tonight but it was summed up very well by the lads from the country. It’s not the money nor the population but the coaches teaching the coaches who train the players. The backroom team are just as important as the guys on the pitch and at the moment, Dublin are the only team that seem to have that at the moment. And that’s not to disrespect any of the other counties. Just Dublin’s backroom staff are at their peak at present and have been for the last 7 or 8 years
Yawn, who cares
have your say
