Day 1 of the National Ploughing Championships is underway in Screggan this morning.
A major traffic plan is in place and people heading from Carlow are being directed via the yellow route while the grey route is the one to take if you are leaving from Kilkenny.
President Michael D Higgins will formally launch the 86th championships at midday today but there’s lots happening there already.
18 local competitors will be vying for national ploughing titles between now and Thursday.
