Cowen praises resilience and community spirit at Tullamore Show

THE annual Tullamore Show represents the resilience of the Irish people, according to Taoiseach Brian Cowen.

He was launching the schedule for the August 8 show at a sponsors’ night in the town’s Bridge House Hotel.

The show had to be called off due to wet weather in 2007 and 2008 but bounced back in spectacular style last year.
