Donal, Emma and Lucy Murnane had a 'wheely' good time at last year's tractor run I PICTURE: Brendan Gleeson
HERBERTSTOWN’S Joe Wright passed away in 2016 aged 92 but his memory is honoured every year at a charity tractor run.
The 2025 event is this Sunday, August 3 in his County Limerick homeplace. Over €40,000 has been raised in his name.

It was Joe himself who came up with the idea of organising a fundraising tractor run for Milford Care Centre due to the great care he received there.
His family, neighbours and friends took up the mantle after his death and organised the Joe Wright Memorial Run.
Registration starts at 11am in the parochial hall in Herbertstown with the tractor run commencing at 1pm. A children’s pedal tractor run takes place at 12.30pm. For more information see the event’s Facebook page
This year's beneficiaries are Milford Care Centre, Carebright and Breast Cancer Ireland.
