Killarney Gardai will be operating a robust traffic management plan in Killarney town centre before and after Sunday’s Munster Final.

While the match will not get underway until 4pm, Lewis Road will be closed from 12 noon until one hour after the match. The GAA is operating 'a winner on the day' policy so extra time in the match cannot be ruled out for traffic management purposes.

Entry to O'Kelly's Villas, Marian's Terrace and St Brendan's Place from Rock Road will be restricted to local residents only, and access will be granted provided they have a Garda-issued pass in their possession.

Additionally, all other approach roads to the stadium will be subject to closures to facilitate pre-match security checks.

“There will be a ticket and bottle check on all approaches to the stadium,” a Fitzgerald Stadium spokesperson told the Killarney Advertiser. "Patrons will not gain entry to the stadium without a face covering."

Tickets for the match will be coloured-coded and fans will only be allowed enter the approach roads via the correct coloured-coded route.

“Entry points will be clearly marked.”
