089 460 4823
On race day, in an emergency, if you are behind a road closure and need to get road access urgently please call this number as it will sit in Race Control and we should be in a position with our stakeholders (Gardai, Ambulance, Fire, etc) to assist you in getting in/out.
Coping with the closures
If you will be affected by any of the above closures and wish to avoid them we urge you to consider leaving ahead of your local closure coming into force and returning after it is lifted. If you travel for work we suggest you also consider leaving earlier than usual to avoid any issues.
If you come to Youghal for your shopping normally on a day when these closures are in effect then we have agreed with the local businesses that the best policy is to come on one of the earlier days in the week on this occasion OR defer your visit until first thing on Monday morning when all closures will have been lifted.
Businesses who may be affected by the event should also contact us in the lead-up - there will be opportunities during the weekend to get deliveries in and out and we will always work with you to minimise disruption.
