On behalf of Galway GAA and the Pearse Stadium Committee we welcome all GAA Supporters to
Salthill on Sunday next, 3
rd June for Connacht Football Championship game between Galway and
Sligo, which will throw-in at 3:30pm.
This game on Sunday will result in increased traffic in the Galway, Salthill and Pearse Stadium
areas and we urge all Supporters to arrive early, in order to avoid traffic congestion and
potential delays entering the Stadium.
An Garda SÃochana will implement a local area Traffic Management Plan and this will result in a
number of access roads to Pearse Stadium being closed. It is important to note that only
residents with Car Pass Permits and those with Official Car Park Passes will be allowed access
past these Garda cordons.
There are ample Car Parks in Galway City and Salthill and we encourage patrons to use these car
parks and walk or take public transport to/from Salthill. The 401 Bus from Eyre Square to Salthill
will operate every 20 minutes throughout the day.
Again, we ask all Supporters to arrive early, to park in the designated Car Parks and to park
legally and responsibly, at all times. Designated Car Parks will be signposted.
Finally, we appeal to all Supporters to be conscious, mindful and respectful to the needs of our
neighbours and local residents.
Please distribute and communicate this important notice to all your Clubs, Supporters and your
Local Media.
In Summary:
1. Please ensure that you buy your ticket in advance!
2. Please travel with care and arrive early!
2. Please use designated Car Parks and park legally and responsibly.
3. Please be respectful and mindful of the needs of Local Residents
4. Enjoy the game
Thank You for your cooperation and your support.
