Cork Summer Show organisers look for new venue

THE grounds of the Munster Agricultural Society hosted what may have been its last Cork Summer Show over the weekend.

For the past 108 years the event has been held at the Ballintemple venue, having earlier been located in Cornmarket Street, Anglesea Street and Cork Racetrack, now the Marina Commercial Park.

But with the current site earmarked for development, the weekend event is likely to have been the final one to be take place at the 22-acre showgrounds.
