Comment: Taoiseach ploughs his own furrow  at National Ploughing Championship

He may never have enlisted, but Taoiseach Leo Varadkar made his way through the ploughing with military precision.

Unlike his predecessor, who was partial to a ramble, Leo arrived at the National Ploughing Association tent bang on time and two hours later, at exactly 1.30pm, he was getting back into his 4x4 which brought him back to more comfortable, urban ground.
