Four of Kilkenny's summer agricultural shows have been awarded grant support in excess of €33,000 by the Department of Rural and Community Development.
The funds were announced on Friday by Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, as part of an investment of one million euro to support 122 Agricultural Shows right across the country.
In Kilkenny the shows to benefit are
Ballyfoyle Agricultural Show (June 30) - €8,350
Castlegannon Show (August 11) - €6,700
Iverk Show in Piltown (August 24) - €11,410
The Welsh Pony Show (May 26) - €6,700
As part of the initiative, each show will receive a grant of €6,000-€11,000, depending on their size. This will support each committee to prepare for the upcoming Show Season, which takes place over the summer months. Minister Humphreys made the announcement as she launched the 2024 Yearbook for Irish Show’s Association (ISA).
