Cannonball is coming back to Kilkenny this September

Thousands of people are expected to line the streets of the marble city at the official finish line at Kilkenny Castle.

Visitors will have the chance to get up close-and-personal with 190 of what are being described as ‘the finest cars on the planet’

Now in its ninth year, cannonball has raised almost 900 thousand euro for Irish charities.

This year, the proceeds are going to make-a-wish Ireland.
