Cannonball run passes through the Premier today

Nearly 200 supercars and novelty cars will pass through the Premier county today on the final leg of the Cannonball Run.

The 3-day event left Dublin on Friday with the cars travelling down through Tipperary on their way to Kinsale before heading back up to Limerick.

Yesterday took them to Sligo while todays run will finish up in Kilkenny Castle.

Car enthusiasts will have a chance to see Ferrari’s, McLaren’s, Lamborghini’s and a range of other exotic makes, when they make a pit-stop at Barack Obama Plaza near Moneygall from around 4 o’clock this afternoon.

Now in its 9th year the Cannonball has raised almost 900,000 Euro for Irish charities – this year funds will go to the Make A Wish Foundation.
