Gardaí are asking members of the public to heed their advice and instructions ahead of President Biden's visit.
They're also asking people to plan their journeys and to leave enough time for possible traffic disruptions.
An Garda Síochána will continue to liaise with businesses and local residents in the key locations.
The force is reminding people that the use of drones is prohibited within 5km of any airport, over urban areas, over crowds and in other restricted areas, and that non-compliance is a criminal offence.
