Fans heading to the Aviva tomorrow night can expect much more increased security than is typical at big events in the stadium. It's expected that there will be an increased security presence as well as Gardai inside and outside of the stadium ahead of the 7.45 kick-off against Bosnia. According to Sky Sports, security is being asked to be extra vigilant, while there is to be an increased emphasis on searching of bags in and out of the stadium.

It was horrendous, the events in Paris, and it puts a lot into perspective, including football matches.
‘But I’m hoping that the stadium is well policed and hoping we will be okay.
‘I hadn't thought about that (the game being in danger), it was more thinking about the events in Paris itself.’
