Thanks to everyone for all the info and the quick responses. It will be our first time in Ireland - we head on over tomorrow. My seventeen-year-old is the real sports fan who watches Gaelic football on satellite.

Since I have a great-great grandfather Quinlan who arrived in the USA an orphan, which teams would everyone suggest we cheer for? Maybe Quinlans are spread out all over Ireland, but if they are concentrated in a certain area that would be helpful. Barring that, I would tend to root for the little guy.

From everyone I speak to I am sure that Ireland will be an enjoyable experience for my whole family.  I'll make a note to let everyone know how our day was.

We have tickets for the Guniness Hurling Semi Final and the BOI Football Quarter Final, as printed on the tickets purchased through Ticketmaster.

The GAA annouced the starting times for events as:

Sunday, August 12th

ESB All Ireland Minor Hurling Championship Semi-Final
Tipperary v Kilkenny 12.15pm
(Croke Park)

Bank of Ireland Football Championship Quarter Final
Kerry v Monaghan 2pm
(Croke Park)

Guinness All Ireland Hurling Championship Semi-Final
Limerick v Cork/Waterford 4pm
(Croke Park)

Will we be able to enter the stadium for the 12:15 ESB match or do we need to wait until the ESB All Ireland Minor Hurling Championship Semi-Final is over?
