Cork agricultural show running since the 1960s forced to cancel

An agriculture and horticulture show which had been a summertime feature in Cork since the 1960s has been cancelled.

The long-term future of Ballingeary Show, near Macroom, remains in serious doubt.

The organisational burden on the show’s existing committee and lack of new volunteers coming forward were cited as the reasons for the cancellation of the show, which had celebrated its 50th year in 2014.
