Tens of thousands of people are making their way to Dublin's Phoenix Park where Pope Francis will say Mass at 3.30pm.
Gardai, stewards and volunteers are in place at the Parkgate Street entrance of the 700 hectar park to make sure everyone is safe in the wet and slippery conditions.
Back in the Garda control center and event control room, over 50 security cameras are in place help them survey the area and help keep everyone safe.
