Take note if you’re heading to the big game this Sunday.

It’s all-Ireland weekend folks!

Croke Park is expected to be absolutely packed as Tipperary take on Kilkenny at 3.30pm on Sunday afternoon, and it promises to be a good one.

But while fans prepare themselves for what will undoubtedly be a brilliant game, the Gardaí have issued a traffic notice for anyone planning on travelling to the game.

They have stated that for the day that’s in it, the M9 Northbound is reduced to a single lane on approach to the M7 at Junction 11.

Motorists may experience delays at this location and should make allowances when planning their journey.

Also, motorists travelling on M7 Northbound may experience some delay as M9 traffic merges at Junction 11.

When leaving Dublin, drivers should be aware of recent changes in the road layout approaching Junction 11 at the M9 diverge, with the left lane leading straight onto M9 Southbound.

Motorists continuing along M7, past Junction 11, should keep to Lanes 2 and 3 when approaching M9 diverge.

Three lanes are now available on the M7/N7 between Junction 8 (Johnstown) and Junction 11(M9 Merge/Diverge) in both directions.

It has also been noted that a reduced speed limit is in force throughout the works area for the day.

Now you just have to hope that the game goes your way.
