Ballincollig buzzing as Summer Show finds new home

THE buzz is back in the Cork Summer Show, which was held at a new venue in Ballincollig over the weekend.

It was the first time in its 168-year history that the event was held outside the city, and all the indications were that the move to the country did it a power of good.

A 60-acre site, just off the Ballincollig Bypass, was the new home for the Munster Agricultural Society’s two-day show, which cost €100,000 to stage.
