Safety
and Security
Entry
into the event is by ticket only, and the event site will be securely fenced.
We have been working closely with An Garda Síochána to develop a robust plan to
ensure that the site and surrounding residential areas are kept safe and
secure. There will be enhanced policing of areas within the Phoenix Park and
surrounding residential areas, as well as comprehensive stewarding and signposting
to direct attendees into the event.
Festival
Republic has committed to provide additional stewards to support An Garda
Síochána in the residential areas surrounding the park, along the pedestrian
walking routes to the site, and within the Phoenix Park.
An
overview of the duties of these stewards is provided below:-
-
Spotters for antisocial behaviour feeding back to An Garda Síochána
via Event Control
- Spotters for event attendees consuming alcohol in the park feeing
back to An Garda Síochána via Event Control
- Directing and providing information to event attendees
- Directing concert goers away from residential areas, feeding back
any residents’ concerns.
- Assisting with litter control in residential areas and around the
park – spotters for waste contractor i.e. feeding back if any areas
external to the event need attention via Event Control.
There
will be alcohol searching stations set up at each of the main entry points into
the Phoenix Park. We will ensure that there is very clear signage, lighting and
information on the location of the venue to deter patrons from idling in the
local area, and remind them to respect the local residents. There will also be
toilets and urinals provided within the park to prevent public urination at the
following locations:-

from outside premises, in the vicinity of the Phoenix Park.
The Event will also provide litter teams to
respond to waste generated by the event attendees with particular focus on the
following areas; Blackhorse Ave from North Circular Road to the Ashtown Gate, Old
