Clare County Council has become the first local authority nationally to request the GAA to axe the ticket charge for under 16s at national league games.
As part of a new policy introduced by the association before Christmas, the ticket can be only purchased in conjunction with an adult ticket.
In December, Croke Park confirmed juveniles will be charged €5 entry to Division 1 and 2 football and Division 1A and 1B hurling fixtures in the coming season.
It also stipulated that admission must be purchased along with an adult ticket.
