Pride Parade will add to congestion in Limerick

Kerry and Mayo fans travelling to Limerick for Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final replay are being advised to travel early as the city will be thronged for one of the biggest gay, lesbian and transgender parades ever organised in this country.

The Pride Parade is the highlight of Limerick Pride Week and as well as the parade, street artists will be performing at various locations in the O’Connell Street area.

Many city centre streets will be closed off to traffic for the big parade which commences at 2pm. And up to 44,500 fans will pack the Gaelic Grounds for the football game which throws in at 5pm. Mayo supporters can expect additional delays in Clarinbridge due to a fair taking place on Saturday.
