I would talk to BÉ / the council / Garda in Limerick and find out what the arrangements are. Skyfest is on the 13th, so I imagine the evening of the 17th would be safe enough.

New Road Layout at Dublin Airport Tuesday, 16 March

From 4am, Tuesday 16th March, ALL public traffic for Terminal 1 will take the access road that travels through the centre of the new passenger terminal, T2. This includes traffic for set-down only; for the short-term car parks, for car hire and for the coach park.

Motorists wishing to access the short-term car parks, car hire or the coach park should remain in the right-hand lane and turn right before taking the incline up the Departures Road ramp to Terminal 1. Motorists wishing to set down departing passengers at Terminal 1 should remain in the left-hand lane and continue up the Departures road to the front of Terminal 1.

The traffic changes are part of the ongoing programme to upgrade the Airport’s campus roads and will be clearly signposted on overhead gantries and other signage as vehicles enter the airport.

Left Galway at 645 got to where I was going in Cork at 1000. Absolutely no traffic, absolute heaven to drive on roads that quiet
