President Michael D Higgins was not in attendance at Sunday's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final as he continued to recover from surgery.
The 82-year-old underwent surgery to reduce back pain earlier this month and was not among the sold-out crowd at Croke Park for the decider between Dublin and Kerry.
President Higgins underwent surgery on July 11, with his office stating that he would complete a "short rehabilitation programme" following the elective procedure.

They said the surgery had been planned for "some time" and the President is still expected to travel abroad for overseas engagements this autumn.
A statement from his office said at the time: "Uachtarán na hÉireann, President Michael D. Higgins, will next Tuesday, 11 July, undergo an elective medical procedure to relieve back pain.
"Following the procedure, the President will continue to carry out his constitutional duties, including consideration of legislation, from Áras an Uachtaráin and from his home in Galway.
"The procedure the President will undergo has been planned for some time, ahead of a busy autumn schedule, including a number of planned engagements overseas, and following the completion of a substantial programme over the first half of the year.
"It is anticipated that the President will carry out a reduced number of public engagements over the remaining weeks of the summer while he completes a short rehabilitation programme, during which time he will be preparing speeches for the autumn engagements and continuing to fulfil his constitutional duties."
