Ploughing Championships May Take Place Behind Closed Doors

The event is due to be held from September 15th to 17th.

The National Ploughing Championships may have to take place without spectators due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The event is due to be held from September 15th to 17th in Carlow - last year's event attracted 300-thousand people.

The government has already confirmed events with more than 5-thousand people will not be licensed up until the end of August.

Laois' Anna Marie McHugh, from the National Ploughing Association, says they're considering holding the event behind closed doors.
