Ensuring that motorists travelling to this week’s national ploughing championship can arrive and depart from the venue in safety and with the minimum delay is a challenging task.

Gardaí, who have prepared a major traffic and parking plan for the event, will deploy members on the ground and on mobile patrols as well as the force’s aerial, mounted and communication units for the operation.
