Since the horrific Manchester attacks, events have been cracking down on their security measures. 

One which has been seen at recent events is a bag ban, where attendees are asked to leave their bags and backpacks at home. 

Dublin's LGBTQ Pride event this weekend is no different, so if you're heading along, listen up. 

Bag restrictions will be in place for all attending #DublinPride on Saturday, June 24. Read the full policy here: https://t.co/s8mDzSPs3b pic.twitter.com/mWbJmdznjG

'For the safety and enjoyment of all attending, An Garda Siochana and Dublin Pride request that Pride patrons leave bags at home on parade day,' reads a safety update notice.

'In line with standard protocol for all recent events, backpacks and large bags will not be allowed.'

'Only small bags measuring no bigger than A4 (8.27in/21cm x 11.7/ 29.7cm) will be permitted into both St. Stephens Green South and Smithfield Square.'

'There will of course be exceptions made for people with medical conditions and children, but for the sake of everybody’s safety, all bags will be thoroughly searched.'

'This is also an alcohol and drug free event.'

So if you're attending, leave the backpack at home.
