Tall Ships set to bring economic boost to Dublin

Around €30m is expected to be spent in Dublin over the next four days with the arrival of the Tall Ships Races.

Dublin Bay will be brimming with up to 50 of the ships today and organisers believe one million visitors will make the trip to the cityl for the event.

A number of road closures will be in place for the festival and there will also be some disruption to Luas services so commuters are urged to plan their journeys accordingly.
