Gardaí are urging people from Kilkenny making their way to the Aviva Stadium for the Republic of Ireland vs France game to be aware of traffic plans.
Patrons travelling for the event - which takes place today (March 27) - are advised to utilise public transport as much as possible, as the stadium is serviced by bus, DART and Luas transport facilities.
According to Superintendent Timothy Burke of Donnybrook Garda Station, the most important consideration is that everyone gets in and out of the stadium and the general area safely and that everyone enjoys the event.
Gardaí stress that all patrons should be aware of the colour coded entry routes to the stadium which will be clearly identified on their tickets and will be strictly enforced.
People should leave plenty of time to find their route and should park or approach the Stadium with these routes in mind. After the match everyone will also have to exit the stadium by the route they came in.
Patrons should arrive early to ensure that they can gain access in time for kick off.
Colour coded entry ways:
Red ticket - Entry via Dodder Bank off Bath Avenue/Londonbridge Rd.
Blue ticket - Entry via Podium Entrance off Shelbourne Road.
Orange ticket - Entry via Lansdowne Lane.
Green ticket - Entry via Lansdowne Road.
Purple ticket - Entry via Herbert Road.
Gardaí also want to remind patrons that on-street parking is limited and disk parking will be rigidly enforced.
Drivers should be aware that illegally or improperly parked vehicles have the potential to cause traffic disruption and obstruction to emergency vehicles that may need to access the narrow residential streets that surround the Aviva Stadium.
Tow Wagons will be in operation during the event and offending vehicles will be removed.

Stiles open at 6.15pm with kickoff taking place at 7.45pm.
