Anne May Mchugh and her family who runs the ploughing lives near Carlow so it makes sense for her to have it "close to home".I'd actually love to go, and see where all the Farmers Dole (now called the Farm Assist Scheme) is spent.
Seriously though, is the Ploughing ever held in Munster any more? It must be 20 years since it was held outside Leinster.
Really good day out and if you ever want to see how to organise a massive event, it's the place to go.
