Gardai have established checkpoints on the N4 at the speed limits as you enter the town from the Longford direction.
There is also a Garda checkpoint on the access road to the Attirory area opposite Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada.
A checkpoint has also been established at the crossroads in Attirory as dozens of fully occupied vehicles and many more people on foot have been seen making their way to the Shannonside View Halting Site for the wake.
