Chelsea over Cork

I NOTE that we have given €2.5m to support our entry to the Chelsea Flower Show.

Chelsea over Cork

Thu, 02 Jun, 2011 - 01:00

Undoubtedly, this has been a wonderful show of support for Chelsea. A shame then, that we cannot spend even a tenth of that supporting local sporting events like the Fermoy European Open, which brings target shooters from all over the world to spend their money in Cork. But, I suppose we must support Chelsea over Cork, lest we lose a precious flower show.
