    I think they should have but probably very hard to do with traffic plans, staff planning etc.
    It’s such a big event pencilled in for those specific days.

    Safety first.

    Ploughing dates are 2 weeks too late...with the logistical and financial cost, it needs to be before hurricane season kicks off.

    The nature of the event and the nature of the structures just leads to risk and disappointment all round..

    The sites they now use in Laois, Kildare and Offaly are well cleared of harvest by start of September..

    Tree reported to have blocked the Kilbeggan Clara rd. Anyone planning on coming that direction might want to use another way.

    It's irresponsible to run it at all today, typically money grabbing.
    We're near it here and trees falling everywhere

    Put back to 1 pm now, I can't see it going ahead today, as someone mentioned earlier it should be held two weeks earlier, late August/early September to avoid these weather events

    There'll be some Q's at the gates at 11.

    They may get Reggie with a machine gun to keep order.

    Well Reggie have you the machine gun ready?

    In the car park now. Debating on whether to leave or wait it out. The wind will ease off but the site sounds messy.

    strange how the cameraman seems to be pretty unaffected by the wind.

    Must be a chubby lad.

    I heard from one of the exhibitors that there's doubts about tomorrow going ahead, a lot of damage around there and further bad weather forecast for tomorrow all be it in the form of rain and spot flooding rather than wind

    Can't get out now! Took a gamble coming up. Bit of a shame I was looking forward to to it!
