Heads Up Motorists – The M50 Is A Car Park Right Now

Bad news for those travelling to the match today - as the M50 is absolutely shut down by the country's many GAA fans gone to watch their teams play at Croker.

Armagh are playing Tyrone earlier in the day and Dublin are taking on Monaghan later this afternoon.
