Dublin City Council is said to be considering showing All-Ireland football final on a big screen in Smithfield.

Dublin's Drive for Five will reach a climax against Kerry on Sunday September 1.

Fans all over the city are waiting to see if they will get their hands on a coveted ticket for the match.

A big screen event could provide a festive atmosphere for those who miss out.

Independent Councillor Mannix Flynn told the Herald newspaper the screen wouldn't be just for Dubs fans.

He said he expects a lot of Kerry fans who can't get a ticket for Croke Park to be in the city for the game too.

Councillor Flynn has appealed to the Council to make a quick decision on the matter.

Lord Mayor's Wind- Up

Meanwhile, Dublin's Lord Mayor may not be very welcome in the Kingdom.

Paul McAuliffe sent a letter to Kerry's Mayor Niall Kelleher inviting him to stay in the Mansion House for the All- Ireland final.

However there were a number of "typos" in the letter.

Everywhere the letter "s" was meant to be; the number "5" appeared instead.

The Mayor of Kerry has yet to respond.
