Michael D Higgins to launch event in Ratheniska, Co Laois, as politicians and punters descend
I Am Not an Alcoholic: ‘Despite drinking so much sparkling water, I lost my sparkle before the end of the meal’“It’s absolutely ploughing weather,” says Anna Marie McHugh, assistant managing director of the National Ploughing Association , who said “wellies and raincoats” should not be forgotten.
Daily crowds could range from 70,000 to potentially more than last year’s single-day record of 115,000 people. The weather will likely be a factor for attendances, though this year’s arena space is also larger.With 202 hectares of the 323-hectare event site being allocated to cars, event organisers are appealing to people to carpool if they have not already considered it. The site can fit a lot of vehicles – roughly 175 per acre – but much of that space will be kept as overflow or in reserve.
