Limerick City and County Council have asked, “To help keep Limerick clean, please make use of the additional bins provided by LCCC along key routes and around TUS Gaelic Grounds. Council cleansing crews will be working throughout and following the event to maintain a clean and welcoming environment.”
Issuing advice for those attending the match, they reminded fans that the possession or use of flares, smoke bombs, and similar pyrotechnics is strictly prohibited, and intoxicated individuals will be refused entry in accordance with stadium regulations.
An Garda Síochána further advises supporters to take sensible precautions with personal belongings and to ensure children are supervised at all times when travelling to and from the event.
Motorists and match patrons are advised that very significant road closures will operate in the city this Sunday.
Limerick City and County Council, An Garda Síochána and Limerick County GAA Board advise patrons to be parked at least one hour before match start time and to use city centre off street car parks and free on street facilities.
An Garda Síochána have issued the following advice, “A capacity crowd of 44,000 is expected to attend the games, which will cause traffic disruption in Limerick City and approach roads to the city. To maximise everyone’s enjoyment of the day Garda advice to patrons is to arrive in plenty of time, to park cars legally, i.e. not causing obstruction, not parking on green areas or at locations where parking is prohibited. Cars illegally parked will be ticketed and those causing obstruction are likely to be towed away by Gardai.”
The Ennis Road R445 from Union Cross to Ivan’s Cross/Caherdavin Cross will be closed to vehicular traffic from 12pm onwards. Traffic will be diverted to the Northern Ring Road, Clonmacken, Shannon Bridge and Thomond Bridge. A number of other rolling road closures/diversions will apply from 12pm to 7pm.
