The trucks carrying essential supplies.
A convoy of trucks carrying essential supplies from Tullamore to Ukraine got a hero's send-off today.
Condron Concrete Works has co-ordinated four lorries to transport items donated by the local community to four locations along the Polish border.
They received a garda escort through the town as they headed off this afternoon.
John Condron has been extending his thanks to all of those who helped, with special appreciation for the eight drivers who'll be spending the next week away from their families.
The local businessman is appealing for everyone to show their support and wave the drivers off at 3 o'clock:
