The Parade starts at noon, and it takes about 45 minutes to complete the full route. However, it is a pretty big parade so it can take about 90 minutes for everyone to start moving depending on their position.

On the Green Line, there will be no service between St. Stephen’s Green and Dominick from 09:40 to 17:00. Trams will only run between Brides Glen and St. Stephen’s Green, and between Broombridge and Dominick. On the Red Line, there will be no service between Smithfield and Connolly/The Point from approximately 10:00 to 14:30. Trams will only run between Tallaght/Saggart and Smithfield.
