Gardaí are advising motorists that delays in the area around the Tullamore Show showgrounds can be expected all day and that diversions will be in place.
The showground is located on the outskirts of Tullamore on the N52 – Tullamore to Birr Road, approximately 7km from Tullamore town.
A periodic reversible one-way traffic system will operate around the showgrounds at peak times, in the morning and the evening. Again, gardaí advise that this will result in delays.
Motorists and local residents, etc, are asked to co-operate with the gardaí and show stewards, and to follow all information signs which are there for their benefit.
