Those planning to drive to Dublin for the Papal Mass on August 26 in the Phoenix Park should be aware there will be some major diversions and road closures in place.
The Government has advised travellers to leave “plenty of time” for any journeys to and across Dublin City from 6am to 11pm on the day.
As half a million people will swarm to Dublin from across Ireland and around the world, attendees are asked to note details of the roads and streets that will be affected by diversions and restrictions. They will appear on dublincity.ie, garda.ie and theaa.ie.
According to gov.ie: “The event will have an impact on local residents and businesses. We are aiming to ensure that any disruption to businesses and individuals is minimised as much as possible.”
“Necessary alternative arrangements are being developed and will be communicated to those impacted well in advance.”
