Really good day out and if you ever want to see how to organise a massive event, it's the place to go.

Seriously though, is the Ploughing ever held in Munster any more? It must be 20 years since it was held outside Leinster.
I'd love to go. I've a friend who works there every year. She lives on site for the duration. She thinks it's great.Really good day out and if you ever want to see how to organise a massive event, it's the place to go.

Is watching a wooden box being carried about the place an "event"?This 'biggest event in Europe' guff,, is that based on the acreage it's spread over ? cringe-worthy and Marty Morriseyesque ..though nowhere near the 6 billions or whatever watched Lizzie in the box
No one uses TV viewership as the measure of the scale of an event. In most cases attendance is the norm, and there were some 115,500 people at the ploughing yesterday, with more than 300,000 expected over the event. What other event is coming close to that this year?This 'biggest event in Europe' guff,, is that based on the acreage it's spread over ? cringe-worthy and Marty Morriseyesque ..though nowhere near the 6 billions or whatever watched Lizzie in the box
The sinking of the QEII?What other event is coming close to that this year?
