Top prize money draws exhibitors to Bantry

TOP prize money drew livestock exhibitors from all corners of the country to the Bantry Agricultural Show in west Cork last Sunday.

With €10,000 on offer in seven championships, high-class animals were on show to the big attendance, many of whom arrived by ferry to the seaside showgrounds.

Unfortunately, heavy rain put a damper on the event, which has become one of the top shows since its revival in 1996, after a gap of almost 40 years.
