“I would advise all those travelling in the area on Monday to be aware of traffic restrictions in Phoenix Park. There may be increased traffic on other routes in this area as a result. Some schools will be open on Monday which will cause an increase in the volume of traffic on the roads. Please plan your journey accordingly and use public transport if possible,” said Chief Superintendent Aidan Reid, Dublin Metropolitan Region (Roads Policing) Division.
