I welcome approval by the Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht Dara Calleary TD of €38,300 for 4 Agricultural Shows to be held in Cavan and Monaghan this year.
Great credit is due to all the Show Committees and their volunteers on the planning and hard work that is involved in hosting these shows on an annual basis.
These events are important in showcasing local farming and agri-food production, arts, crafts and enterprise. They are also good social events.

Minister Calleary approved funding as follows:

📍Arva Agricultural Show Sunday 26th July €9,200
📍Virginia Show Wednesday 19th August €10,700
📍Castleblayney Show Monday 3rd August €9,200
📍Tydavnet Show Saturday 15th August €9,200

I wish all the Shows well in their preparations for this year’s events.
