Gardai issue advice ahead of Donegal game in Ballyshannon

Gardai in Ballyshannon have issued some travel and parking advice ahead of the Donegal and Derry game this weekend,

The game, which gets underway on Sunday afternoon at Fr. Tierney Park, is expected to attract a large crowd to the town.

In a statement, Gardai say that there will be ample match day parking in Ballyshannon and in the vicinity of Fr. Tierney Park.

All public car parks and on-street parking locations are available on the day and will be free of charge.

Furthermore, Gardai say that arrangements are in place for additional parking at the Mart site (located immediately at the Belleek/ Dublin exit off the Ballyshannon Bypass and just a 10 minute walk from the ground) and at Northwest Floors and Furniture (the old Heitons site) with ample parking only a 5 minute walk to the ground.

Use of these car parks is also free of charge and are strongly encouraged.

Both sites offer a quick exit from the venue directly onto the Ballyshannon Bypass.

Furthermore, vehicles exiting the NW Floors & Furniture car park have the option to travel towards Bundoran to join the Ballyshannon/Bundoran bypass and therefore avoiding queuing traffic leaving the town.

Additional on street parking will also be available along the main roads towards Belleek, Bundoran and Donegal Town.

Supporters are asked not to park in any way that causes obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian traffic or that blocks any entrance to houses, businesses, property or field gates.

People are being urged to allow sufficient time for their journey on the day and to follow all directions given by An Garda Síochána and the match day stewards.
