Here is the full list of roads closures taking place in Dublin during the Pope’s visit

It looks to us like almost all of the city is going to be shut down for the majority of that weekend.

Inexplicably, the road closures are set to continue in the capital, despite the fact that the Pope is set to be in Knock that day, meaning he'll be over 200kms away from any Dublin roads. With over 500,000 expected to attend the Pope's visit, despite no additional parking being put in place for anyone hoping to attend, and visitors urged to use public transport for the day. The full list of road closures has been posted to the Dublin City Council website, and can be found below:
