Travel:
Organise your travel in advance. Use public transport where possible and make sure you book your return transport in advance. Car pool where possible to help reduce road congestion and carbon emissions. Gates open at 9am on Friday 29th of September. Check out GetThere.ie for a one-stop website for car pooling and bus and train timetables.
Garda Advice:
Gardaí advise to turn off sat-navs and follow the clearly sign posted routes from AA roadwatch to avoid unnecessary delay and traffic disruption. Key junctions and points will be manned by Gardaí. Designated privately operated car parking is provided adjacent to the event site on all approved routes. This parking is free to all ticket holders and no roadside parking will be permitted. Inspector Declan Dunne of Portlaoise Garda Station added “Make sure to pack appropriate clothing and to mark all personal property with your contact details. Follow the routes from AA Roadwatch and most importantly enjoy yourself over what is always a great weekend and look out for each other!
