Please comply with directions of Gardai and stewards and to be mindful of the fact that there are many residents in the area.
In relation to the match between Shamrock Rovers and Real Madrid on Monday evening, Superintendent Eamon Dolan speaking at Tallaght Garda Station has stated:
"I would appeal to fans attending the match between Shamrock Rovers and Real Madrid to allow plenty of time as many spectators will not be familiar with the grounds and surroundings. Fans should use Public transport where possible."
Superintendent Dolan continued "The stadium is well served with public transport. The RED Luas line will be well serviced and there are ten bus routes servicing the Square Shopping Complex all within easy walking distance of Tallaght Stadium. "
Superintendent Dolan on behalf of An Garda Siochana also wishes all fans an enjoyable and peaceful evening.
We would urge fans to comply with directions of Gardai and stewards and to be mindful of the fact that there are many residents in the area.
Spectators should be patient entering the stadium and in particular leaving the areas during the hours of darkness.
