This year’s Liffey City Currach Regatta takes place this coming Saturday 7 May, with crews assembling at St Patrick’s Rowing Club in Ringsend at 10am for registration before the first race at 11.30am.

Racing will continue throughout the afternoon with crews from Dublin, Connemara and Warrenpoint all expected to take part. For more on the event see the Facebook page HERE.

The event comes not long after three currachs were launched on the Liffey in a rare occasion in the capital, as previously reported on Afloat.ie.
