Gardai have issued an updated traffic plan ahead of this afternoon's Connacht Senior Football Final in Pearse Stadium.
A local area traffic management plan is now in place and a number of access roads in the residential areas adjacent to Pearse Stadium are now closed.
It is important to note that only residents with some form of identification and those with Official Car Park Passes will be allowed access to those Residential areas.
Traffic restrictions are in operation in the Claddagh Quay area of the city adjacent to the Claddagh Church and patrons are advised to avoid this area after the game.
Gardai reminds those going to the game this afternoon that there are ample Car Parks in Galway City and Salthill and patrons are encouraged to use these car parks and walk or take public transport to and from Salthill.
Car Parking will be available to the public at St. Enda's Secondary School and at the Tennis Club on Threadneedle Road.
Supporters are asked to arrive early, to park in the designated Car Parks and to park legally and responsibly, at all times.
Finally, Turnstiles will be open for the Terraces at the Main Entrance on Rockbarton Road and Arus Bóthar na Trá on Dr. Mannix Road.
Entry to the Stand will be via the gates at the back of the stand.
All Gates will open at 2.30pm.
