    Hi guys,
    Does anybody know which streets will be closed for the St. Patrick's Day parade and for how long? I have an important delegation in for work that day and need to get them to George's Quay from Leixlip by 4 p.m. It will have to be by taxi due to luggage, etc.

    What are the restrictions going to like in the other cities like Waterford or Cork? Are they on the internet anywhere I wonder?

    Use the M50 and the tunnel.

    Leaving aside any street closures, the last thing you want your delegation seeing is the real stuff that goes on in the city centre on Paddy's Day!
