Tullamore Show bowled over by participants’ generosity

IT IS not every enterprise, voluntary or commercial, that can take a 500,000 hit from the weather, and bounce back bigger and better than ever.

That’s what the organisers of Ireland’s premier agricultural show have done after their event had to be called off at short notice last year due to a deluge late the previous night.

Then it was heartbreak for all involved with the celebrated Tullamore Show which also features the AIB National Livestock Show. Cattle already on site had to be removed and the tented village dismantled.
