What a spectacle that was. I'm not sure people were expecting Laochra to be that enthralling after the National League double-header.
For those who haven't seen it yet, I thoroughly recommend it - and the vast majority of people who witnessed it seemed to come out with all sorts of swollen pride, teary eyes, or a determination to finally learn how to riverdance.
Here's the best of the reaction, even though not everyone was happy with it:

Something in my eye. Really enjoyed that. The messages from abroad were sweet. Nice and inclusive as the GAA is. Up Mayo! #LAOCHRA

Current status of #Laochra: Like Riverdance on steroids!

Of course - not everyone likes their riverdance on steroids:
