Thousands of visitors expected for annual Borris Fair

Up to six thousand people are expected in Borris today for the annual fair which gets underway shortly.

Plenty of trading’s expected along the main street where many stalls set up last night.

Garda checkpoints have been set up at Factory Cross, Kelly’s Corner & Kavanagh’s Corner on the approach  to the town with large vehicles being diverted away while there’s a detour for lighter traffic.

There’s no driving through the village.

Councillor Willie Quinn says locals have mixed feelings about the annual event.
