Donegal will host the Irish National Sheep Dog Trials which begin today in Clonmany.
The three-day event will see 150 sheep dogs and their handlers compete in the competition.
The winner will represent Ireland at the International Sheep Dog Trials in Scotland next month.
The Irish National Chairman James McGee says “it is both an honour and privilege” to bring the trials back to Donegal which last hosed the competition in Clonmany in 1979.
The trials will take place on the lands of Sean and Mary Doherty from Clonmany.
Chairperson of the Donegal Committee James P McGee said they “look forward to welcoming participants and spectators to Clonmany for a fantastic family-focused event”.
