Dublin is going to be very busy this weekend. There’s Taylor Swift playing three sold out nights in the Aviva Stadium, Longitude in Marlay Park, Shania Twain is at Malahide Castle on Friday and the Saw Doctors are at Fairview Park on Saturday.

You also have the GAA Senior football Championship and the Dublin Pride Parade.

All of which will bring around 600,000 people into the capital over the weekend.
