Public asked to be responsible at Phoenix Park concerts

Gardaí today issued an appeal for concert-goers in Dublin this week to be responsible and to stay safe.

It comes ahead of three headline shows in the city's Phoenix Park on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Several big-name acts will be taking to the stage including Snow Patrol, The Stone Roses and Swedish House Mafia.

A shuttle bus will be available from Custom House Quay to the Phoenix Park.

Full details of all bus routes and times are available on MCD Promotions' website.

Superintendent John Quirke says music-lovers should have a good time but should be sensible before and after the concert.

"There is public lighting, there will be emergency lighting in certain areas provided by the concert promoters," he said.

"But we would advise particularly people that are walking down towards the Luas and other places to get public transport - that they stay to the main roads."

"Don't be taking short-cuts across the grass or they might get lost - or they could run into areas that they're not familiar with." he added.
