BREAKING: Tullamore Show cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19
The Tullamore Show & FBD National Livestock Show, one of the biggest events in the country each year, has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 outbreak. It was due to take place in August.
In a statement, the organisers said that due to the unprecedented, exceptional circumstances regarding the Covid-19 worldwide pandemic, they have made the decision to cancel the event.
The statement continues, "having given much consideration to the very difficult circumstances that our sponsors, competitors, exhibitors, supporters and service providers find themselves in, we had not option but to make this decision. The health and well being of our nation has to be the priority."
The statement adds that the committee sincerely hope that Sunday, August 8, 2021 'will more than compensate for this year's unfortunate cancellation.'
