Both the National and World Ploughing Championships are to be staged in Co Laois next year according to the event’s organisers.
The organisers stated that the planning for the event, which will be hosted at Ratheniska, must start now despite the threat of Covid-19.
The cancellation of this year’s event was due to the Covid-19 pandemic to which organisers are hopeful will not disrupt next year’s event if a vaccine is found.
