Conor McGregor wasn't among the minglers. The MMA has-been, whose rape cases and hate-based political campaign have brought him more attention over the past two years than all other presidential candidates combined, bowed out earlier this week. He announced his withdrawal from the race in a rambling middle-of-the-night tweet, in which he blamed shadowy unnamed forces for keeping him from higher office, and made sure to praise his own efforts to turn Ireland into a much meaner place.

The warning, which comes into effect at 6pm tomorrow and expires at 3am on Wednesday morning, will affect counties Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Galway. As part of its warning, the national forecaster is telling people to be aware of the impact of "blustery rain" which includes treacherous travel conditions, poor visibility and localised flooding. For visitors to Tullamore for the National Ploughing Championships, tomorrow morning should start off dry and bright and there will be just isolated showers.
