Take a look at some of the highlights, in pictures, enjoying three days in Stradbally, County Laois, from entering through the decorated woods to the main arena. It was an awe-inspiring, sometimes eye-watering experience. There were balaclava-clad children, presidential hopefuls, dancers, toddlers, and rainbow-filled skies. Enjoy it all in colour.
- Kneecap balaclavas thronged the main arena on Saturday and were selling like gold dust. Even children were enjoying the wave of Irishness.
