These pictures show why Leitrim might just be the best county in Ireland

Stylish Silage. That’s a new one on us, it must be said.

That being said, it is properly impressive, the absolute art-works that are being created by the people of Leitrim out of nothing more than dried grass and a creative spirit.

As part of An Tostal Stylish Silage competition, folks from Drumshanbo actually put together a Trump lookalike, which is actually fairly great, all things considered…

Folks have until 1 July to enter their Stylish Silage, with the winner announced on 2 July at the An Tóstal Opening Parade, and you can check out the full festival line up right here.

There is also a raffle being held to raise funds for a local man who was severely injured, with the top auction item being a signed jersey by Republic Of Ireland and Everton footballer Seamus Coleman, with the fundraising page for that right here.

Here are just some of the other entries in the competition, and we with judges luck in choosing just one winner from these, because some of them are properly brilliant.
