Tipperary is top for quality potatoes

Tipperary has already won an all-Ireland title, but this one is for top quality potatoes, not hurling.

The triumph came at the country’s biggest one-day agricultural show which drew more than 60,000 people to Tullamore last Sunday. An entry from David Curran, Moyglass, Fethard, won the Bord Bia All Ireland quality potato championship.

The competition was designed to increase the level of awareness among growers of what constitutes a good quality potato.
