SDLP Ballyarnett councillor Catherine McDaid

SDLP Ballyarnett councillor Catherine McDaid has expressed concern over road closures on the main Derry to Dublin route on the day of the FAI Cup Final.

Derry City take on Drogheda United at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin next Sunday, November 10.

Ash Avenue and Grangefoyle Road near Strabane are both set to be closed between 8am-6pm.

Councillor McDaid said: “It’s always special when Derry reach the FAI Cup Final and it feels like half the town descends on Dublin to take part in the festivities and attend the match.

“Over 30,000 tickets have already been sold for this year’s match with the vast majority from Derry who will be travelling down on the day of the match.

“I’ve recently learned of plans for two road closures along the main Derry to Dublin route near Strabane on the day of the match.

“This has the potential to create traffic chaos, with Derry fans travelling in their droves to see their team play in the cup final.

“I have written to Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd asking him to lift these road closures for the day of the cup final to ensure that every Derry City fan can get to the game in a safe and timely fashion.

“Nobody wants to see a great day out blighted with traffic gridlock and I hope that common sense will prevail and we can get this sorted ahead of next Sunday.”
