The 30th National Dairy Show

ONLY the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001 has blemished the National Dairy Show’s 30-year record. No show was held that year.

Except for that interruption, it has been a story of progress at the Green Glens Arena, Millstreet, home of the event by kind permission of owners Noel C Duggan and family. With support from breeders, trade stand exhibitors, and sponsors, the event has been established as one of the best dairy shows in Europe.

This year’s show director, Seamus Crowley, and assistant show director, Tom Baker, have paid tribute to the foresight of the show founder members — Brian O’Connor, Bob Troy, and John O’Sullivan (who is still a very active member in the Cork Friesian Breeders Club).
