Ireland Hosts EU Presidency Amid Travel Warnings

Ireland kicks off its six-month EU Presidency this Wednesday with a whirlwind of 300 events across the country, centered at Dublin Castle, drawing 30,000 visitors — but brace yourself: November’s global summits could turn Dublin into a traffic nightmare just as holiday shoppers hit the streets. Authorities assure minimal disruption for regular travelers, with roadwork and closures already underway, including a full shutdown of Dublin Castle since June 15th. While local officials sound alarms over potential motorcade chaos, the Gardaí and Dublin Airport Authority confirm most EU business will run smoothly — just watch out for gridlock around Christmas time.
