Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, last Thursday, announced funding of €1 million to support 122 Agricultural Shows right across the country.

Minister Humphreys said, “I’m delighted to announce a record €1 million to support 122 Agricultural Shows across the country.
“Our Agricultural Shows sum up all that is good about rural Ireland. They are intrinsically linked to that sense of community that our rural towns and villages are known for.”
This year’s €1 million allocation brings the total allocated to Agricultural Shows since 2018 to almost €3.3 million.
