Laois Offaly Gardaí get couple to church on time during the National Ploughing Championships
‘Congratulations to the newlyweds Shauna and Ryan — and thank you for letting us be part of your special day!’ said Laois Offaly Gardaí
Laois Offaly Gardaí ensured the National Ploughing Championship traffic was no problem for one happy couple who were able to get to the church on time and in spectacular fashion on their big day.
“With the National Ploughing Championships taking place and the Mucklagh area largely closed to traffic, this happy couple needed a little extra help getting to and from their big day.
Thankfully, our Roads Policing colleagues were on hand to provide a very special Garda escort!, Gardaí stated in an online post.
The happy couple were married in St Colman’s Church in Mucklagh which is located around two kilometres from the National Ploughing Championship site in Screggan, Co Offaly.
“From wedding bells to blue lights, we were delighted to help make sure the happy couple got safely to their celebrations,” Gardai said.
“Congratulations to the newlyweds Shauna and Ryan — and thank you for letting us be part of your special day!” they said.
A total of 243,000 people attended the three-day National Ploughing Championships in Screggan, Co Offaly this year. It is the second year the venue has hosted the event.
The 2027 National Ploughing Championships is moving and Rathangan in Co Kildare has been selected as the venue.
