Kerry politicians are calling on Irish Rail to provide additional train services for supporters travelling to the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final.

Kerry is set to play Tyrone on Saturday, July 12, with a 5:00 PM throw-in at Croke Park, Dublin.
Minister Michael Healy-Rae TD has urged Irish Rail to ensure sufficient capacity, particularly for return journeys after the match.
He cited the late finish time as a concern for fans needing to get home safely and conveniently.
Minister Healy-Rae stated he would raise this directly with Irish Rail to secure plans for adequate transport both to and from Dublin.
Fianna Fáil Deputy Michael Cahill and Councillor Tommy Cahill have also praised Kerry supporters for their turnout at the recent quarter-final win over Armagh.
They echoed calls for increased transport options for the semi-final.
The Cahills said they are actively working with Irish Rail and Kerry Airport.
This follows their previous successful engagement with Irish Rail for the Armagh quarter-final, which saw extra train services provided. Despite current train services to Dublin already being fully booked for July 12, the Cahills are pressing Irish Rail for more trains from Kerry.
They are also exploring flight options, having submitted formal requests to Kerry Airport for additional flights.
Councillor Cahill referenced expected heavy traffic on the M7 route on July 12 due to fans from Kerry, Limerick, and Kildare heading to Croke Park. He stated they are "flat out working behind the scenes" to ensure fans have travel options
