A Dublin Councillor says capacity at Merrion Square isn't big enough for the All-Ireland homecoming and wants it changed.

Fifteen thousand tickets went on sale this morning for the event which Keywest are headlining on Sunday and are now sold out.

Dublin City Council is now encouraging people to get tickets through their GAA club.

Christy Burke says over 100,000 people would turn up to cheer on the men who completed the Drive-for-Five and the ladies who won three-in-a-row

He is calling on the Lord Mayor to change the plans, " an open-air bus, down through town, into College Green, a platform, the Dubs on it, the Sam MaGuire on it, a bit of music and everybody feels part of the historical party. So I'm calling on the lord mayor to review the position of Merrion Square."
