Dundalk Show takes place this year on 9 June
Dundalk Show Society is to receive €9,205 in Government funding this year, to help the committee prepare for this year's Dundalk Show, which is set to take place on 9 June at Bellurgan Park.
It is part of a €1 million funding investment to support 122 Agricultural Shows across the country, announced today by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD.
Minister Humphreys made the announcement as she launched the 2024 Yearbook for Irish Show’s Association (ISA). Announcing the funding, Minister Humphreys said: “Our Agricultural Shows play a vital role in community life and raise awareness of the important role agriculture plays in our society.
“These shows are the threads that build bridges between our towns and villages, and the hinterlands that support them. They act as a platform for local producers to showcase their products and have become a key date in the calendar for the farming community. Our shows sum up all that is good about country life and I’m delighted to support them, once again, through this substantial investment.”
The Department of Rural and Community Development will work with the Irish Shows Association (ISA) to administer the Scheme for 2024. The Department, together with ISA, are encouraging participating shows to be more environmentally aware in delivering their shows.
They advise that initiatives in the areas of waste management, responsible printing, use of single use plastics, and appropriate traffic management should all be considered with a view to showcasing best practice in the area of event management and becoming more sustainable.
