WATCH: Fans at Croke Park pay tribute to victims of Buncrana tragedy

Fans of Dublin and Donegal paid tribute to the family who tragically drowned in Buncrana last week in Croke Park on Saturday night.

Sean McGrotty (46) died in the incident, alongside his two sons Mark (12) and Evan (8), his mother-in-law Ruth Daniels (57) and her daughter Jodie Lee Daniels (14).

The tribute to the family, which had been proposed by the Dublin Supporters Club on Facebook, was observed by both sets of fans as during the fifth minute of the game, they stood and gave a round of applause and mark the passing of the members of the McGrotty and Daniels families.
