'Unlikely' to be 60,000 fans at Croke Park for All Ireland football final, Donnelly says 

Mr Donnelly said that his view was that 60,000 people fully vaccinated, was “probably a lower risk” than 40,000 people who did not have to be vaccinated to attend. 

It is unlikely that there will be 60,000 people at Croke Park for the All Ireland football final on September 11, Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has said.

“What we had was agreement on 50% capacity, so about 40,000 people, vaccinated or unvaccinated,” he told RTÉ's Morning Ireland.
