Insurance problems could force many of Ireland’s agricultural shows out of existence

Ray Ryan reports,

Irish Shows Association chairman Paddy Joe Foy issued the warning at the Powers Gold Label National Livestock Show, which attracted an estimated 40,000 people to Tullamore last Sunday.

Mr Foy said it would be a sad day if fine shows like the one in Tullamore and many smaller shows around the country had to stop because of insurance problems.
