The firm which operates the National Ploughing Championship (NPC) returned to pre-tax profit last year to record profits of €217,624 after incurring combined losses of €1.25m during the two Covid-19 impacted years of 2021 and 2020.
In September of last year, 290,000 patrons attended the return of the NPC at Ratheniska, Co Laois after organisers had to cancel the 2020 and 2021 events due to pandemic restrictions.
