Two agricultural shows re-scheduled

TRALEE was the first big outing for most livestock exhibitors, because earlier agricultural shows in Leap, Co Cork, and Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co Clare, were called off due to wet weather.

Leap Show has been rescheduled for May 28, with entries on the day, while Newmarket-on-Fergus has rescheduled for June 6, the Bank Holiday Monday.

Irish Shows Association chairman George Durnin has urged any show hit by the weather to keep trying. “It will come right,” he said.
