Donegal GAA have offered travel advice for anyone travelling to Roscommon.

Donegal take on Mayo in the All-Ireland SFC round-robin third-round fixture at Dr Hyde Park in Roscommon, with the game throwing in on Sunday at 4pm.

With a road closure currently in place, Donegal GAA has posted: "Ahead of our All-Ireland Sam Maguire Cup Round 3 game on Sunday, We ask our travelling supporters to please note the following:

"A section of the N61 closed for construction on 19th May, between Boyle and Tulsk. There will be no access through this point.

"This would have been the direct route to Roscommon for anyone travelling through Sligo. Diversion routes are in place from Boyle via Frenchpark, and back onto the N5 at Tulsk. Anybody travelling from the Carrick-on-Shannon direction can follow the R368 via Elphin, Strokestown, Four Mile House and onto Roscommon. On a normal day, this would add five minutes to the journey."
