Where to watch the All Ireland final outdoors on the big screen in south Donegal

The Diamond, Donegal Town is among the venues showing the Donegal v Kerry All Ireland Football Final on the big screen

People across Donegal who did not manage to secure All Ireland tickets can still enjoy the excitement and atmosphere of watching the big game with a crowd of supporters. 

This is thanks to community organisations with sponsorship from business communities in securing big screens in order to show the match in outdoor public spaces.

In Ballyshannon, Aodh Ruadh and local traders are teaming up to bring a family friendly big screen 'Hill 17' event to the The Gables area of the town. There will be live music, face painting and much more at this free to view event commencing at 2pm on Sunday. 

Chairperson of Aodh Ruadh Barry O'Neill said: "We are pleased to be in partnership with the local business community to bring the Hill 17 All-Ireland Football Final event to the streets of Ballyshannon. It will be a great opportunity for everybody to join in on the All-Ireland Final Day experience and do so with family and friends.”

In Donegal Town, the game will be shown on a big screen on the Diamond. 

Community volunteer Jonathan Kennedy put out a call for sponsorship and was delighted with the response. The joint venture of Eske Pharmacy and Brady Opticians with their new premises on the Diamond were quick to come forward and fund the screening.

Jonathan said: “We are very grateful to Eske Pharmacy and Brady Opticians for coming on board to enable this family-friendly screening to take place.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Diamond to watch the All Ireland. It will be a great atmosphere with the big screen.”

There will be a designated section for wheelchair users and elderly people.

In the interests of safety for all, those attending are asked to keep the Diamond glass-free.
