Easter Sunday
The Easter Sunday State Ceremony and Parade is the centrepiece of the commemorations. It should be noted that access to O’Connell Street on Easter Sunday will be limited due to on-street seating. Use of public rather than private transport is strongly advised.
The public will have access to Upper O’Connell Street. Middle and Lower O’Connell Street will be accessible to invitation holders only. However, there will be viewing opportunities and clearly marked zones with large screens so that members of the public can view the parade as it progresses towards O’Connell Street.
Note the Easter Sunday ceremony and parade will conclude with an Air Corps flypast and a 21-gun salute. Some audience members and parents of young children may find the noise levels disturbing.
Easter Monday
Easter Monday is very much a family friendly day with hundreds of talks, performances and events for all the family to enjoy. Members of the public are strongly advised to use public transport and check their route to and from the city centre.

- Tabhair faoi deara gur amuigh faoin spéir a bheidh go leor de na himeachtaí seo. Ná déan dearmad bheith ullamh don drochaimsir agus éadaí cuí a chaitheamh. Bí cinnte féachaint ar réamhaisnéis na haimsire roimh ré.
- Iarraimid ort cuimhneamh ar pháistí óga agus freastal orthu chun ligean dóibh féachaint ar na himeachtaí nuair is féidir.
- Ar mhaithe le do shábháilteacht féin agus le sábháilteacht daoine eile, ná bíodh deifir ort agus tú ag teacht chuig imeachtaí ná ag fágáil imeachtaí ag a bhfuil líon mór daoine i láthair. Ba chóir a bheith tuisceanach le daoine aosta, le teaghlaigh a bhfuil páistí óga acu, agus le daoine a bhfuil deacrachtaí gluaiseachta acu.
- Ba cheart do thuismitheoirí/chaomhnóir a bheith in éineacht le daoine faoi bhun 16 bliana d’aois. Níor cheart páistí a fhágáil leo féin ag am ar bith.
- Moltar do thuismitheoirí a rá le páistí cúnamh a lorg ó Gharda nó ó dhuine de na maoir má théann siad amú. Ba cheart do thuismitheoirí déanamh cinnte gur féidir lena bpáistí a n-ainm iomlán, a seoladh, agus uimhir fón póca tuismitheora a thabhairt.
- Ba cheart an córas iompair phoiblí a úsáid chun dul chomh fada leis na himeachtaí.

Tugann an Garda Síochána an chomhairle shonrach seo a leanas:
- Pleanáil an lá. Má tá tú ag taisteal le grúpa mór daoine, roghnaigh pointí cruinnithe lasmuigh de gharchomharsanacht an imeachta.
- Coinnigh súil ar pháistí agus déan cinnte nach n-imíonn siad ar strae.
- Éist leis an gcomhairle agus leis na treoracha a thugann na Gardaí agus na Maoir.
- Beidh srianta móra ar thiomáint isteach go lár na cathrach. Molaimid go láidir duit an córas iompair phoiblí a úsáid.
- Bí ar an airdeall maidir le do shábháilteacht phearsanta féin agus bí cúramach maidir le piocairí póca.
- Féach láithreán gréasáin na nGardaí ar www.garda.ie chun comhairle agus faisnéis bhreise a fháil.
Domhnach Cásca
Is é an Searmanas Cuimhneacháin Stáit agus Mórshiúl Dhomhnach Cásca croílár na gcuimhneachán. Ba cheart a thabhairt faoi deara nach mbeidh ach rochtain theoranta ar Shráid Uí Chonaill Domhnach Cásca de bharr na suíochán ar an tsráid. Moltar go láidir duit an córas iompair phoiblí a úsáid seachas do charr féin.
Beidh rochtain ag an bpobal ar Shráid Uí Chonaill Uachtarach. Ní bheidh rochtain ar Shráid Uí Chonaill Láir ná Íochtarach ach ag daoine a bhfuil cuireadh acu.

Luan Cásca
Lá an-oiriúnach do theaghlaigh a bheidh i Luan Cásca, agus beidh na céadta caint, léiriú agus imeacht ar siúl don teaghlach ar fad. Moltar go láidir don phobal an córas iompair phoiblí a úsáid agus an bealach isteach go lár na cathrach agus amach uaidh a sheiceáil roimh ré.
