Thousands of people are today preparing for a major weekend motorcycle extravaganza.
An expected 35,000 spectators will arrive in Slane, Co Meath, tomorrow for the Red Bull X Fighters event.
The major international competition, which combines rock music with motor-biking stunts, takes place on the grounds of Slane Castle and showcases the best freestyle motocross riders in the world.
Gardaí have issued a major traffic plan in which diversions will be put in place from 2pm tomorrow until 2am on Sunday. No through traffic will be permitted through Slane during the diversion period.
Traffic on the N2 will be diverted to the M1, and traffic on the N51 (Drogheda to Navan) will be diverted via Collon. Car parks will be available on all approach roads, and roadside parking will not be permitted.
