Transport across Dublin will face significant disruption
Summary
Jennifer Gilna, Head of Communications with the NTA, outlines significant transport disruptions in Dublin City Centre due to the European political community meeting and potential public sector strikes. Security cordons around the Convention Centre and Marion Square will block pedestrian, cycling, and vehicular access, forcing bus and Luas diversions. Listeners are advised to allow extra travel time and check transportforireland.ie for updated routes, as further changes may occur if strike actions proceed.
