Dublin GAA fans are invited to Smithfield Square on Monday evening to pay tribute to the victorious All-Ireland team.
The Dubs lifted Sam Maguire once again on Sunday evening after a tense 1-15 to 1-13 win over Kerry at Croke Park. The win sees the Dubs lift their 31st All-Ireland title while Stephen Cluxton, Michael Fitzsimons and James McCarthy made history by becoming the first men to win nine championships.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí de Róiste, and Dublin City Council will host a special event for those players and the rest of the team, backroom staff, Dublin County board and fans on Monday evening at 6.30pm. Entertainment will be provided on the evening before the team takes to the stage, with RTE's Marty Morrissey on MC duties.
The event will be family-friendly and alcohol-free with the council urging anyone attending to use public transport if possible. Access to Smithfield Square is from North King Street, Friary Avenue and Thundercut Alley.

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."
Beckett Bridge and the Smithfield Sails will also light up in blue this evening and tomorrow to celebrate the team's achievement.
