"The main changes are around O'Connell Street with the commemoration," he said.

"So, O'Connell street itself really [is] closed until three.

"The Dublin buses will be operational, they'll divert going southbound into Cathal Bruatha Street, and going northbound they'll be diverting down Eden Quay.

"The Green Line itself will not be running through O'Connell Street, it'll be stopping at Stephen's Green and Donnelly Street."

The event will be led by President Michael D. Higgins along with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Tanaiste Simon Harris and other dignitaries.
