The Daily PollPoll: Should TDs have access to tickets for All-Ireland finals?
Deputies are entitled to buy two tickets if their county is playing.
YESTERDAY’S ALL-IRELAND football final between Dublin and Mayo ended in a draw meaning a replay will be played on Saturday 1 October.
It means another scramble for tickets for fans of both sides. Controversy erupted last week when Senator Michelle Mulherin complained about ‘discrimination’ against Senators who, ulike TDs, are not entitled to buy two tickets for the match.
