8,000 fans will attend two GAA matches in Croke Park on Saturday - in the stadium's biggest crowd in over a year.

They'll go to the Leinster senior hurling semi-final double-header, involving Dublin and Galway, and Kilkenny and Wexford.

Until now, the maximum capacity at games in the Republic of Ireland was 200.

Anthony Staines, a professor of health systems in DCU, says he wouldn't go to Saturday's games for fear of catching Covid.
