Merrion Square in Dublin was a spectacular sight as 160 of the world's finest cars and Ireland's most colourful Cannonballers lined up for Cannonball 2010 in association with the charity Barretstown.

The star-studded convoy included Boyzone star Shane Lynch, former Miss World Rosanna Davison and boyfriend Wes Quirke, No Frontiers presenter Kathryn Thomas, TV3's Elaine Crowley, models Georgia Salpa and Hazel O Sullivan and Lord Mayor of Dublin Gerry Breen.

The Cannonball Ireland Convoy consisted of 3 action packed days taking in some of Ireland's most scenic routes while also travelling through the most welcoming town and villages in Ireland such as Westport, Donegal, Clarinbridge, Killarney, Cork city and Cashel. The event sponsored by Stobart was eagerly awaited in each of the destinations with street festivals planned all over the country.
