The Government has issued travel recommendations to the public attending the Pope’s Mass on August 26, in order to make it as smooth a process as possible.
A huge amount of organisation has gone into preparing to accommodate the half a million people expected to attend, with the World Meeting of Families staff saying they have spent “some of the most time” trying to streamline transport preparations.
Some of the points include:
-Decide how you will travel to the Phoenix Park well in advance. You are strongly advised to take public or group transport (coach) to this event.
-Public transport and coaches will be given priority and will bring you closest to Phoenix Park.
-It will not be possible to drive up to or near to the Phoenix Park by car.
“Decide how you will travel to the Phoenix Park well in advance: bus, train, Luas, walking or coach. You will not be able to drive up to or park near the venue but Park & Ride or Park & Walk will be available around the city. Information on all transport options is below.”
People are reminded to enter and leave the same gate into the Phoenix Park that is assigned to them, this can be found on tickets.
The information will be regularly updated on http://gov.ie/en/visit-of-pope-francis/ with people being asked to check back regularly.
