Gardaí are advising spectators to plan ahead for travelling to Ballybofey this Saturday for Donegal’s opening match of the All-Ireland Senior Championship.
The match against Tyrone will take place at Mac Cumhaill Park, Ballybofey. Throw-in is at 7pm.
Parking will be available in several car parks around the town.
Gardaí ask spectators not to park in the carpark of St. Mary’s Church in Stranorlar as a vigil Mass takes place there at 6pm on Saturday evenings.
There is limited disabled parking availability on the Main Street and in car parks in the vicinity of the grounds.
“We ask everybody attending the game to please park responsibly,” they said.
“Do not park in a manner that causes obstruction to footpaths, private entrances or that obstructs access for emergency services or that obstructs the free flow of traffic. Any vehicles found to be causing an obstruction will be subject to fixed charge notices as necessary and may be towed. This is to ensure a free flow of traffic for everyone pre and post-match.”
Gardaí are asking the public to please expect traffic delays both before and after the match.
“While we endeavour to assist traffic movement as much as possible, the large numbers attending will result in unavoidable delays. Adding additional time for your journey is advisable,” they said.
“Please follow directions from Gardaí, security staff and stewards in the area. We hope that everyone has an enjoyable day and we wish both teams the best of luck.”
