A Mayo TD has called for family members of inter-county players to be allowed attend All-Ireland finals.

Fine Gael Deputy and former Mayo star Alan Dillon has called on the Government to work with the Return to Sports Expert Group and the GAA to put in place arrangements as the Championships conclude.

The two time all-star has written to the Taoiseach and the Minister for Sport to ask that Government step in and respond to players' request for six passes per panel member to attend finals. 

The Ballintubber clubman says that playing in the All-Ireland final is a huge moment in players' lives and having family members present would mean a huge amount to them.

Deputy Alan Dillon told Midwest News that he believes a special exemption could be made for a relatively small number of family spectators in Croke Park under strict Covid-19 protocols.
