The Carlow Columban Way is being launched today by soccer Legend Paul McGrath.
It’s on at one o’clock at the Columbanus Cairn at the Nine Stones viewing point and a shuttle bus will be going from the Community Centre in Myshall at 12.30 with parking available.
The Launch is followed by an 8-kilometre guided walk.
Eileen O’Rourke from Carlow Touriam says the former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland star is actually a regular visitor.
Patsy Mclean, Chair of the Friends of Columbanus says today is a celebration of the huge influence the saint had across Ireland and Europe.
