Dublin Castle has served as the primary venue for an informal meeting of EU Transport Ministers, which commenced on Sunday, 20th September, and concludes today, 21st September. This diplomatic event, held under the auspices of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, has necessitated a comprehensive policing and security operation across the capital to ensure the safety of all international delegates and the public.
Motorists and pedestrians should be aware of ongoing road closures affecting Castle Street, Ship Street Little, and Ship Street Great, which are scheduled to remain in effect until the end of the year. Furthermore, temporary parking restrictions and rolling road closures have been managed by An Garda Síochána to facilitate security escorts between Ballsbridge and the city centre. While these measures aim to minimise disruption, commuters are advised to follow the directions of officers on duty during peak transit times.
The Irish Aviation Authority has imposed strict Temporary Restricted Airspace and Geographical Zones around event venues, effectively banning the operation of unmanned aircraft systems. Authorities are actively monitoring for drone activity, and any unauthorised flights will be subject to investigation. For the latest updates on traffic and operational changes, members of the public are encouraged to monitor official Garda communications and the Irish Aviation Authority website.
