Expect road closures, parking bans, drone-free zones, and security sweeps across campus. Students are told to grab library books in advance, while hospitals are prepped for traffic chaos. This isn’t just a stop — it’s a major national security operation, showcasing Ireland’s readiness to host Europe’s top officials with full Irish flair. Over 250 events are coming — and Cork’s the epicenter of this week’s action.
