Gardai are urging Dublin and Mayo GAA fans to comply with covid-19 guidelines this Saturday when the two counties meet in the All-Ireland football final.
They have been in touch with pubs in both counties to ensure that all regulations are followed before, during and after the game.
High visibility patrols will be carried out by Gardai throughout the day in key locations in Mayo and Dublin.
Gardai say there was a high level of compliance last weekend for the hurling final, and are hopeful they will see the same this weekend.

Covid 19 Won't "Take The Day Off"
Deputy Commissioner, Policing & Security, John Twomey says:
"COVID-19 doesn’t relax or let-up for an All-Ireland Final, no matter how historic."
"The virus is still spreading, it is still leading to serious illness and death.
"An Garda Síochána, along with the GAA, are committed to playing our part."
"We are asking GAA supporters to continue to play their part by following the public health guidelines and regulations."
"If you are somewhere to watch the match or celebrate afterwards and there are too many people there – leave."
- Limit your contacts.
- Maintain social distancing.
- Wash your hands regularly.
- Wear a face mask where appropriate.
"We want everyone to enjoy the occasion safely so that they, their families and fellow supporters can have a happy and healthy Christmas and new year."
