Croke Park: Muslims celebrate Eid in the home of Irish sport
The holding of a major Muslim prayer service at an "iconic" Irish sporting venue has sent a message "to the whole world" that Ireland is a welcoming country, an Islamic leader has said.
About 200 Muslims gathered at Dublin's Croke Park stadium on Friday to celebrate the Islamic festival of Eid.
Croke Park is the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
The event was addressed by Shaykh Umar Al-Qadri, the chair of Irish Muslim Peace and Integration Council.
