Garda advice for accessing Mullingar town during fleadh

A spokesperson for the gardaí in Mullingar said the force have a policing plan in place for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann '23, which will commence on Saturday August 5 from 4pm.

"That plan continues throughout the week and ends on Tuesday August 15 at 4am.

"Obviously there will be a lot of people accessing the town for the fleadh, but there will be plenty of people going about their business as usual, either attending work or to go shopping etc.

"Our advice would be to allow extra time for your journey, follow the stewards and the garda advice and to have a bit of patience during the event."
