The Rally programme will be officially launched by the Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council, Peggy Nolan next Tuesday, June 21 at 8pm in The Annaly Hotel.

Robert Farrell explained, "We are pleased with the interest we have from abroad this year which will be a tremendous boost to the economy of Co Longford. And we are very anxious to involve as many local Farrells as we can from Longford and surrounding counties to extend a warm welcome to our visitors."

Mr Farrell added, "In particular we would like people to come along on Monday, July 18 for the opening parade through the town and bring their county or club flags to make it a very colourful occasion for our visitors."
