Brexit is being partially blamed for the cancellation of an International Horse Trials event in west Waterford.
The event attracted Olympic and other competitors and thousands of visitors from Ireland and abroad each year. It was due to take place during July 28-31 on the Camphire estate near Cappoquin in the Blackwater Valley.
