My Department is very supportive of local agricultural shows and provides in excess of €80,000 annually to the Irish Shows Association for disbursement to local organisations. This funding is designed to assist with the insurance costs associated with running such events. However, other than this financial assistance, the Department does not have a direct role in running these shows.
