The junior sports minister has hinted at more increased crowds at sports matches as the Summer progresses.
It comes as 18 thousand people will be allowed to attend the Leinster hurling final between Kilkenny and Dublin at Croke Park next weekend.
The same number will be allowed at the football semi-finals the following weekend, with 7 thousand to attend the Munster hurling final.
