This is just amazing.
Ireland fans are certainly enjoying themselves in the streets of Paris today as they warm up for Ireland’s clash with Sweden tomorrow evening.
The fans were in great form yesterday when they had a sing-song with Croatian fans in the fan zone.
It seems that their good form has spilled over to today as the fans continue to have the time of their lives in Paris. JOE.ie Editor Paddy McKenna is at the scene and captured some fantastic footage.
If you’re feeling hugely upset at the fact you’re not currently over in France, do yourself a favour and don’t watch it.
It’s so good it’ll make you very upset you’re not over there.

While it remains good-spirited and there’s been absolutely no hint of violence so far – just fans enjoying themselves – the police have been called to the area.
Traffic was being held up by the fans and the police have arrived to ensure that disruptions to traffic are at a minimum.
Traffic in Clichy now at a standstill, French police are here on walkie talkies. Should close the road I think. pic.twitter.com/Az7kdG0Y0K

Fans here in Clichy all very good natured, locals here are playing along. Police seem very exasperated, just hope they act sensibly.
