This year’s National Ploughing Championship has been postponed due to the recent restrictions imposed on Donegal after a spike in COVID-19 cases.
Assistant managing director of the event Anna Marie McHugh had warned that the event could be postponed if Donegal was locked down due to the number of competitors from that county.
The annual event, which sees thousands of visitors every year, had already been severely scaled back to comply with COVID-19 restrictions.
