Iarnród Éireann has announced train tickets for a number of extra rail services put on for Dublin versus Kerry football All-Ireland quarter-final replay are now sold out.

The company is advising fans without train tickets travelling to the match in Thurles from either Dublin or Tralee to make alternative arrangements.

The company says there will be no additional capacity available on the day as every available carriage in the fleet would be in service on Saturday.

Serious traffic congestion at last week’s match resulted in major delays in getting to and from the ground, and many fans missed the start of the match.
