GAA fans outraged after airing of All-Ireland final at Electric Picnic cancelled due to 'health and safety concerns'

GAA fans who are attending this year's Electric Picnic festival were left disappointed when an airing of the All-Ireland Football Final was cancelled midway through the first half.

It is understood that the big screen was turned off around twenty minutes into the game between Dublin and Kerry due to 'health and safety' concerns.

Images from Electric Picnic show a message board advising fans that 'due to health and safety this event will not be going ahead'.

Angry spectators took to social media to express their disappointment.

One fan tweeted: "AIB’s attempt to show the Football Final at EP was shut down 20 minutes into the game due to over-crowding and health and safety concerns.

"Game turned off and place evacuated."
