Traffic Management Plan for Saturdays Munster Hurling Final:
Limerick will take on Cork for the Munster Senior Hurling Final this weekend, and Gardaí have issued a traffic management plan for the day.
“First and foremost – we’re asking supporters to plan ahead, arrive in good time, and park legally. That means no parking on green areas, no blocking driveways and absolutely no illegal parking. Cars causing obstruction will be towed, and tickets will be issued,” says Sergeant Aoife Bannon from Henry Street Garda Station.
Gardaí are advising fans to use city centre car parks and walk to the stadium to avoid congestion and aid with the flow of traffic after the match.
There will also be some parking available between Coonagh Roundabout and Caherdavin Cross on the Ennis Road, and also at T.U.S. Campus on Old Cratloe Road, with gardaí advising people to get there early.
Anyone in need of disabled parking must go through the Limerick or Cork GAA Boards.
Motorists are advised of multiple road closures and diversions in effect from 2 pm onwards at the following locations:
Sarsfield Bridge: Closed to outbound traffic. Diversions at the Henry Street and Sarsfield Street junction.
Condell Road / Shelbourne Road Lower: No right turn onto Shelbourne Road.
