Some video of Stage 1 of the 2025 Rás Tailteann 5 Day which started in Drogheda, Co. Louth and travelled 155 kilometres to Boyle in Co. Roscommon. 145 Riders line up on the start line in glorious sunshine in the historical town of Drogheda.

The video clips are of the teams assembling in the GAA football grounds and the ceremonial start in the main street outside St. Peter's church.

There is also a slide show of photographs taken during the stage by the official race Sports Photographer Lorraine O'Sullivan.
