The start of the Irish Hot Air Ballooning Championships in Boyle has been delayed for a third time.
Flights yesterday evening and early this morning were cancelled because it was too windy, and the organisers have confirmed this evening's flight has also been called off.
Huge crowds gathered in Lough Key Forest Park today and yesterday, in anticipation of around 20 hot air balloons taking to the sky.

The forecast is better for tomorrow and there are high hopes the 7am flight will go ahead.
The event is due to continue until next Friday, with two sessions per day.
