The countdown is on for the many organisers, competitors, traders, and members of the general public that will attend the annual Cork Summer Show next month.

On June 15 and 16, crowds will descend on the Cork Showgrounds in Curraheen, and the organiser Munster Agricultural Society (MAS) is hopeful for a better-than-ever turnout to the show, which has been running for over 200 years.
