Liam Miller match-goers urged to use public transport

By Joe Leogue

The 45,000 match-goers attending the Liam Miller tribute match have been urged to use public transport to get to what will be the largest sporting event held at Páirc Uí Chaoimh since its redevelopment.

The call comes as gardaí, management at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and event organisers today outline the traffic management and stadium arrangements around next Tuesday’s match.

Those attending have been warned that there will be strictly no parking at the venue, and any cars parked illegally in and around the stadium will be towed.

Match-goers driving to the game are asked to park in one of the city centre car parks, and avail of a shuttle bus service that will run every 10 minutes from 12.30pm until kick-off at 3pm.
