THOUSANDS OF FANS turned out at Smithfield Square this evening to celebrate Dublin’s third successive All-Ireland senior football championship title.
Lord Mayor Mícheál Mac Donncha and Dublin City Council welcomed the players, management and county board to the Mansion House for a civic reception, before an open-top bus took the team across the Liffey.
We spoke to some of the fans out to see the team.
We also caught up with yesterday’s man-of-the-match, James McCarthy, who admitted that the team were a bit tired after the match yesterday to celebrate properly, but assured us that they were making up for it now.

There won’t be an Iphone or a bike stolen for a week in Dublin
@TravellingTheWorld: Hilarious. Good job Mayo didn’t win….there wouldn’t have been a sheep sheared or cousin shifted for a week
@Brian O’Loughlin: haha….that gave me a good laugh lads…..both of ye! Keep em coming!!
@Joe Kennedy: what about…. there won’t be a wall graffittied in Dublin this week…..or a pothole filled in Mayo?!! :)
@Joe Kennedy: trust me there are no pot holes filled in the west of ireland, driving in the west is like walking on lego
@Brian O’Loughlin: A cousin sheared or sheep shifted.
@Brian O’Loughlin: Lol Brian, I got a good chuckle there. Great comeback!!
As a rossie absolutely delighted they won! The abuse mayo gave dean rock every time he went to take a free was a disgrace, the same supporters who were crying about a very small minority of stupid rossies booing andy moran
@Jack: oooh sounds like a very bitter sad rossie. Build a bridge pal
@Jack: 22
If Mayo team and fans keep up their under handed cheating on and off the pitch we will see violence in gaa grounds and fans will have to be separated.
We already had the Baboon a few years ago from Mayo in the Kerry game trying to get onto the pitch to assault the ref and their fans thought it OK. The level of booing directed at opposition at free kicks is ignorant and a disgrace .
They have the only fans who think it’s OK to openly smoke and blow it ignorantly into people’s faces.
Then you have the likes of Lee Keegan stooping to the lowest cheat I’ve ever seen on a GAA pitch thinking he’s the man when he is actually a pity and hopefully a lengthy ban will follow.
Sort yourselves out Mayo your like a load of spoiled kids blubbering and snivelling, take a leaf out of Jim Gavin book .
@Stephen Drake: i assume you are referring to the amount of connacht titles that roscommon have won and its actually 23, which is absolutely nothing to do with my first comment.
@Jack: points
@Twice A Blue: get over yourself. Clown.
As a meath man congratulations to the dubs great achievement 3 in a row. Total admiration for mayo.. 2 great teams put on a great final.
Great team of footballers those Dubs.
Sickened
@Fionn Falcao: lol!

Congrats to Dublin money or no money it takes serious dedication and commitment to win one all ireland not to mention three in a row!! However I think O Rourke has a point on the Sunday Game when he talks about the population on Dublin and the fact their is only one senior football county they can play for. Perhaps a Dublin Parnell team to take part in a B all ireland i don’t think they should spilt the county for the main championship that would ruin it! Or else allow players in Dublin who want to to transfer to outside counties if they so wish.
I was there, passing by. There was max 1500 there, that’s being generous. Very poor turn out for all Ireland champions.
