Commenting on the LIVE broadcast Pierce O’Reilly from IRISH TV stated this special All-Ireland Football Final preview show would be the biggest and best that IRISH TV has ever produced. “We have pulled out all the stops for this once off special. It is unreal to think that two of the most respected GAA managers in the country will be with us on the night not to mention all the other high profile guests. This final is historic from a Dublin perspective in so many ways with a new manager and a host of very talented young players taking to the hallowed turf of Croke Park on the third Sunday of September and we wanted to do something special to mark the occasion,” he said.
IRISH TV will also be giving away priceless All-Ireland Football Final tickets on the night with a special competition running on all their social media sites. The All-Ireland GAA special programme will be broadcast live on IRISH TV, SKY TV channel 192, Freesat 402 and on www.irishtv.ie.
