Garda advice for Limerick v Tipperary matchgoers

The following is the Garda Traffic Management Plan to cater for the Munster Senior Camogie Championships, Limerick versus Waterford at 2pm and Munster Senior Hurling Championships Limerick versus Tipperary at 4pm on Sunday 28th April 2024 at the T.U.S. Gaelic Grounds, Ennis Road, Limerick City.

A crowd of 35,000 is expected to attend the games, which will cause traffic disruption in Limerick City and approach roads to the city.

To maximise everyone’s enjoyment of the day Garda advice to patrons is to arrive in plenty of time, to park cars legally, i.e. not causing obstruction, not parking on green areas or at locations where parking is prohibited. Cars illegally parked will be ticketed and those causing obstruction are likely to be towed away by Gardai. 

Patrons are advised to strongly consider parking in the nearby city centre car parks and walk out to the stadium as this will save them considerable time in their journeys home after the game.

Closures/Diversions: Road Closures/diversions will apply from 2pm onwards at the following locations:

• Ennis Rd. At its junction with Ivan’s Cross – traffic will be diverted to Northern Ring Road and towards Clonmacken Road
• Salesian’s School/North Circular Road junction – Road Closure
• Shelbourne Road/North Circular Road at Clanmaurice Avenue – Road Closure
• Union Cross – traffic will be diverted to Shelbourne Rd
• Shelbourne Pk./Shelbourne Road – Road Closure
• Shelbourne Rd./Mayorstone Drive – Road Closure

• Old Cratloe Road at its junction with Mayorstone Upper & T.U.S Roundabout (Merval Pk.) – Road Closure.

If you are driving to the match the Gardaí would appeal to patrons to keep to the speed limits, never “Drink & Drive”, “Text & Drive” or “Phone & Drive"

Crime Prevention Advice
