Festivalgoers advised to make allowances for traffic and transport changes

Those heading to the capital today for the parade or to attend the All-Ireland club finals in Croke Park should make allowances for traffic and transport disruptions arising from today’s parade when travelling to Dublin.

The parade route for the Dublin St Patrick’s Day spectacle is 2.5km long and leads from Parnell Square through O’Connell St, over the River Liffey via O’Connell Bridge into Westmoreland Street, past Trinity College at College Green, and on to Dame St. It then turns left at Christchurch Cathedral into Lord Edward St, Nicholas St and Patrick St before ending at St Patrick’s Cathedral.
