Nod for Irish ploughing match
IRELANDs National Ploughing Championships – the "Ploughing" – are set to take place on 2-4 Oct in Ballacolla, Laois.
This follows the National Ploughing Association being given the green light to hold the event by the Ministers Expert Group as the threat of foot-and-mouth recedes. As last year, the event will take place on David Lalor and Robin Talbots adjoining farms which offer, by Irelands standards at least, a dry site for the competitions, exhibition area and demonstration plots.
The farms are situated on the main Abbeyleix-Rathdowney road and can be accessed from the N8 from Dublin and Cork, the N7 from Limerick, the N10 from Waterford and Kilkenny and the N6 from Galway and Roscrea.
