TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
Connacht Football Final in Pearse Stadium, Sunday 16th June 2019.
Galway V Mayo Connacht Junior Final at 1.00pm
Galway V Roscommon Senior Football Connacht Final at 4.00pm
A Chairde,
On behalf of Galway GAA and the Pearse Stadium Committee we welcome all GAA Supporters to Salthill on Sunday next, 16th of June for the Connacht Football Final.
The Junior Final between Galway and Mayo, will throw-in at 1.00pm and the Senior Final between Galway and Roscommon, will throw-in at 4.00pm.
These games on Sunday will result in increased traffic in the Galway City, Salthill and Pearse
Stadium areas and we urge all Supporters to arrive early, in order to avoid traffic congestion and potential delays entering the Stadium.
An Garda Síochana will implement a local area Traffic Management Plan and this will result in a number of access roads in the residential areas adjacent to Pearse Stadium being closed. It is important to note that only residents with Car Pass Permits and those with Official Car Park Passes will be allowed access to those Residential areas.
There are ample Car Parks in Galway City and Salthill and we encourage patrons to use these car parks and walk or take public transport to/from Salthill. The 401 Bus from Eyre Square to Salthill will operate every 20 minutes throughout the day. There will be extra service to and from Salthill as it serves a location less than 10 minutes’ walk from Pearse Stadium. Only buses that depart Salthill at or before 18:00 will guarantee connection with the 19:25 train to Oranmore, Athenry, Attymon, Woodlawn, Ballinasloe, Athlone, Roscommon and Castlerea. Normal Bus Eireann city service fares will apply on the route. Outside of 13:00 to 19:00, the normal scheduled route will operate on 401.
Car parking available at St. Mary’s College on St. Mary’s Road and at St. Enda’s College on Threadneedle Road.
Garda Traffic Cordon
Pearse Stadium will open to patrons at 12pm and a Garda Traffic Cordon will be in place restricting vehicular access to residents and permit holders only from 12pm until 7.00pm. Barriers will be in place on either end of Dr Mannix Road, at Rockbarton Road, at Dalysfort Road and on Rosary Lane. There will be no through traffic on any of these routes between the times indicated. We ask all Supporters to arrive early, to park in the designated Car Parks and to park legally and responsibly, at all times. Designated Car Parks will be signposted.
Recommended Traffic Access Route
It is expected that the majority of both visiting supporters will approach the city via the M6 and it is recommended that they continue on M6/N6 route across Quincentenary Bridge and continue along Bishop O’Donnell Road. Progress through the city (unless intending to park and walk/bus to Salthill) is not recommended as the pedestrian crossing at Spanish Arch will be particularly busy on Sunday as will the retail parks and supermarkets on city part of Headford Road.
Finally, we appeal to all Supporters to be conscious, mindful and respectful to the needs of our neighbours and local residents.
Please distribute and communicate this important notice to all your Clubs, Supporters and your Local Media.
In Summary:
1. Please ensure that you buy your ticket in advance!
2. Please travel with care and arrive early!
2. Please use designated Car Parks and park legally and responsibly.
3. Please be respectful and mindful of the needs of Local Residents
4. Enjoy the game
Thank your co-operation and your support.
