And the gardaí said Cork fans travelling by car should consider earlier-than-usual departure times to allow for any eventuality, like an accident, which could delay traffic.

Irish Rail has increased its services out of Cork’s Kent Stadium to Colbert Station, Limerick, to accommodate fans. Cork trains will leave at 9.30am, 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.30am. The 10.30am and 12.30am trains that normally go direct to Dublin will stop at Limerick Junction and transfer fans on the Limerick train.
