The Ploughing ‘a celebration that rural Ireland has survived’ a challenging few years
'It’s great to see people being able to get around, the conditions are ideal and it’s nice to be back after the absence.'
After a hiatus that no one could have seen coming back in 2019, hundreds of thousands of people are flocking this week to the “celebration that rural Ireland survived” the last couple of years.
The National Ploughing Championships kicked off in Ratheniska, Co Laois this morning, with punters eagerly flooding the over 700 acres worth of trade stands, exhibitions, demos and, of course, the ploughing contests themselves.
