Dubs Homecoming Event Merrion Square

There's a big celebration this evening in Merrion Square for all Ireland Champions Dublin. Fans will get their chance to celebrate with the Dublin Senior Football team as All Ireland Champions 2013. A special event hosted by Dublin’s Lord Mayor, Oisín Quinn and Dublin City Council for the team, backroom staff, Dublin County Board and the many true blue Dublin fans.

For many of you this is going to be a great family friendly evening and then for the rest of you who normally drive around Merrion Square this is going to be pretty inconvenient.

Traffic restrictions have been in place since place from 6 Am this morning on Merrion Square East and South and on Mount Street Upper and Fitzwilliam Street Lower.

Crowds will start to gather from 6 but as restrictions are already in place we expect delays in the area throughout the evening. 

With works in place on St Stephens Green putting pressure on Dawson St and  Ely Place tonight's celebration is likely to put a lot of pressure on the area.

Expect greater volume on Pearse St and surrounding roads, but also on  Nassau St the Grand Canal, Leeson St and St Stephens Green.
