The government has relaxed it's restrictions on outdoor sporting events.
500 supporters will be permitted at all GAA matches this weekend where there is a stadium capacity of 5000 or more.
The Government have brought forward the date to increase attendances for all sports by 48 hours.
It means an increased attendance for Laois v Westmeath and Offaly v Kildare in the Leinster Senior Football Championship Quarter-Finals, Westmeath and Carlow's meeting in the Joe McDonagh cup and Offaly's opening Christy Ring fixture against Sligo in Markievicz Park.
Eight-thousand fans will be accommodated at a test event at Croke Park this Saturday for the Leinster senior hurling semi finals.
