Europe's largest outdoor event kicks off next week.
Gardaí are encouraging attendees at this year's National Ploughing Championships to use public transport where possible.
The massive agri-event returns to Ratheniska in Laois from next Tuesday until Thursday, with a shuttle bus service in place running from train stations in Athy, Portarlington and Portlaoise.
Road users are being asked to avoid the N80 at Stradbally and all approach roads to Ratheniska village during the duration of the Ploughing.
Inspector Patrick Guinan of Tullamore Garda Station says for anyone who is intending to drive to look for Garda signs before looking at their Sat nav:
