An innovative new product is on sale at the National Ploughing Championships.
The Suip Protector, developed by Suip Manufactoring based in Dromard Co. Sligo, is a device that has been made to secure quad bikes on farms.
Speaking to OceanFM News, Pius McCloat, owner of the company, says they wanted a device that wasn't electronic.

Although farmers are known for using quad bikes for their versatility, police forces around the world also use them.
Mr McGloat says a number of Gardaí have shown interest in the device and that they carried out extensive research with policing forces in Britain.
