Blue skies and volunteer spirit sees Ploughing finish on a high note

A breakfast time cocktail of Brexit, Borris, and Big Phil got the final day of the National Ploughing Championships off to a bright start at Screggan, yesterday.

European Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner, Phil Hogan, held a press briefing in the Commission’s stand, as the mop-up from the previous day’s deluge was still ongoing, out on the wet-and-muddy trackways.

The Kilkenny man ranged across a number of issues, including the recent stance adopted on Brexit by British foreign secretary, Boris Johnson.
