Pre-match entertainment on Ulster Final Day commences at 12 noon and will run until 3pm.

Minister Byrne said that funding under future calls for proposals to the large-scale sport infrastructure fund, LSSIF, would be available.

The GAA pundit said he "in no way intended to demean them by comparing them to Clones".

The Sunday Independent article also made reference to home-owners charging for parking on their property during the Ulster Final.

Ciaran Morgan says the fans, residents and players, all want the Ulster Final to remain in Clones, and that it's "hard to understand" why the GAA potentially don't.

Permission for a redevelopment of the stadium was granted last year.

A litter pick was conducted from 6am this morning to remove any remaining waste.

For the second year running, the final will be played outside of St Tiernach's Park.
