Two agricultural shows in Louth are to receive increased government this year, it has been announced by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD.
A one million euro package announced today to support 122 agricultural shows across the country, represents a 40 per cent increase on last year’s allocation.
Co Louth Agricultural Show (Dundalk Show Society), which took place on 11 June, is to receive €9,205 through this year's funding, while the Irish Pony Breeders Show, which takes place on 24 September, is to receive €5,880.
Announcing the funding today, Minister Humphreys said that "the shows are key dates in the summer calendar and are a central point for the agri-food industry, the farming community and our local artisan producers. These shows are also a fantastic family day out, where people come to catch up and enjoy a truly unique experience."
