Good morning the N.I.P.A. are in Tullamore the birds arrived on site at 4.00am, the drinkers are on and the lorries are lined up and ready to go. I spoke to the convoyer at 6.00am and he informed me that the sun is up and there is little to no wind and clear blue skies. So due to the fact that rain will arrive in the far north west later on this morning I am setting up for a liberation for 8.00 am . So I will up date after 8.00am .

The N.I.P.A. have liberated at 8.00am in little to no wind in blue sky and sun shine , in the Dublin area there is a light wind coming from the west at 290 degrees at 4 knots , turning later in the day to 340 degrees at 9 knots , there is a few cloud scattered at 4,000ft , so good luck to every one and I hope you all enjoy today's race.
