A comprehensive traffic management plan involving detours and road closures is in operation in the Youghal and East Cork area over this coming weekend as the seaside town celebrates a double-bill Ironman triathlon series.

Saturday's half Ironman and Sunday's full Ironman will effectively see Youghal town pedestrianised, street parking prohibited, and a park-and-ride system in operation.
