A lot of fans are travelling to Dublin from Cork and Louth.
Cork City and Dundalk meet today in the FAI Cup Final in Dublin, with kick-off set for 3.30pm at the Aviva Stadium.
The showdown between the SSE Airtricity League’s top two teams is expected to attract a huge crowd because of the cheap ticket prices (€10 for an adult and €5 for kids under 16).
It may be wet, windy and miserable but there’s still a huge buzz ahead of the big match.
Happy #FAICupFinal Day to all!
