Tractorcade heads for Limerick Show

The IFA tractorcade is back on the road - not to highlight an income crisis, but as part of next weekend’s Limerick Agricultural Show.

Farmers are assembling 50 tractors which will travel on Sunday - the second day of the show - from Annacotty, five miles from Limerick on the N7, and will proceed through the city to the Greenmount showgrounds at Limerick Racecourse, Patrickswell.

The machines will represent 50 years of IFA in Limerick, illustrating the progress of agricultural mechanisation.
