Due to the significant number of attendees expected over the two days, An Garda Síochána has implemented a traffic management plans for the area surrounding the venue.
A free shuttle service will be operational from 8:00am each morning.
This service will run from the train station and from Scott’s Street, incorporating multiple pick-up and drop-off points along Muckross Road.
Attendees and the general public are advised that parking at or near the Gleneagle will be limited. Local hotels, guesthouses, and B&B operators have been asked to encourage guests attending the ceremonies to walk or make use of the provided shuttle services to avoid driving to the venue.
Significant traffic delays are expected near the Gleneagle and along Muckross Road, with the worst congestion anticipated between 9:30am and 4:30pm on both days.
Six ceremonies are scheduled to take place across the two days, with start times set for 11:00am, 1:00pm, and 3:00pm each day. The duration of each ceremony is expected to be approximately 30 minutes.
The local community is advised to allow additional travel time if travelling to or through town on these dates and to plan routine journeys accordingly to minimise disruption. Guests staying in local accommodation should leave their cars parked and utilise the shuttle services.
