The area around the L.I.T. Gaelic Grounds will remain clear of vehicles to allow for patrons who are on foot approaching the stadium.

Patrons parking in the Clonmacken/ Condell Road & Caherdavin areas are advised to do so legally and to expect delays in these areas  and in general following the game. 

Crime Prevention Advice

An Garda Síochána would like all patrons travelling to the game on Saturday to have a safe trip so the here are a few tips for those travelling to the match 

• Don’t leave any valuables in your vehicle and if you must, keep them out of view.  This should be done before you get to your destination. 
• There are likely to be large crowds at the match so parents should exercise caution and be aware of their child’s whereabouts at all times. 

Patrons are also reminded that parking of cars on any green areas in the City, particularly in the Clonmacken and Caherdavin areas is NOT PERMITTED and there is Signage in these areas. Offending Drivers are liable to have their cars ticketed or towed.

Do not park illegally - your actions may have consequences for Emergency Vehicle Access or cause damage to the local amenity
