Dublin road users are being warned of traffic disruption on Friday due to road closures associated with the visit of The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Merrion Street is currently closed to traffic which is having a knock-on effect across the city and road closures are also due to be imposed around Glasnevin Cemetery and also a hospice in Harold's Cross.
Among the roads affected are the Finglas Rd (N2) which is closed from 9am to 1pm between the Old Finglas Rd and Prospect Rd.
AA Roadwatch is advising motorists to come into the city via the Navan Rd or Ballymun Rd instead.
