A number of motorists have complained about the traffic plan for the National Ploughing Championships after encountering significant delays on Tuesday.
Thousands of people descended on Ratheniska just outside Portlaoise, Co Laois, this morning for the first Ploughing Championships open to the public in three years following Covid disruption in 2020 and 2021.
While gardaí released a detailed traffic plan prior to the event with coloured routes from various parts of the country, many attendees still ran into gridlock.
