DONEGAL is set to host the Irish National Sheep Dog Trials this August as SSE Renewables is named as the principal sponsor.
The trials, organised by a voluntary Donegal Committee comprised of members of the International Sheep Dog Society, are being held in Clonmany from August 22 to 24.
The annual event will see 150 sheep dogs and handlers from across the island of Ireland showcase their abilities.
The winners will go on to represent Ireland in the International Sheep Dog Trials taking place in Scotland this September.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Community Liaison Officer at SSE Renewables, Seamus Herron said the trials are more than just celebrating the intelligence of a remarkable animal.
“At SSE Renewables, we pride ourselves on supporting the communities in which we live and work.”
