Traffic Management Plan
O'Moore Park GAA Stadium Portlaoise
Date: 28th May, 2023
Fixture: Leinster LGFA Finals
The traffic management plan and safety management plan has been agreed.
We will activate a traffic management plan to control and regulate the movement and parking of vehicular traffic attending the event. Stewards will be deployed at critical areas and junctions to prevent obstruction and promote the easy access and movement of traffic and pedestrians through to the stadium.
Traffic will arrive in Portlaoise via the following routes:
M7 Dublin/Portlaoise
N7 MountrathJPorlaoise
N8 Abbeyleix/Portlaoise
N80 MountmellicWPortlaoise
N80 Stradbally/Portlaoise
Road works at Junction 17 inwards to Portlaoise, outwards open.
Patrons are advised to arrive at least 30 minutes before throw-in to allow for parking and adequate time to walk to the stadium.
Parking within the immediate area of O'Moore Park is limited in public places.
Parking on Father Brown Road is prohibited. Parking on footpaths where such parking obstructs pedestrians is prohibited and offenders will be prosecuted. Parking in private housing estates and private entrances that constitutes obstruction will be dealt with decisively by An Garda Siochana.
Patrons are advised that parking is available at;
LOETB Centre of Excellence via Abbeyleix Rd (Limited)
Parkside Shopping Centre
Midway Hotel M7 Roundabout
The Kyle Shopping Centre
Lyster Square Shopping Mall
Lismard Business Park

A traffic restricted cordon zone will be reserved and identified with Garda parking cones and any such areas will be tow-away areas. Offenders are liable to a tow away fee and storage charge. Father Brown Road will be closed to all traffic for a period before and after the event in the interest of pedestrian safety.
Special needs parking will be reserved at Portlaoise GAA Pavillion and those wishing to avail of the facility should plan to be parked one hour before throw-in.
Motorists are advised to co-operate with stewards on match day.
Patrons are advised to park in a designated safe area and ensure that all valuables are placed in the boot to reduce the risk of property theft and criminal damage. Motorists are advised to take personal responsibility for their actions and not to compromise the safety of other road users while travelling to and from the game.
