A number of agricultural shows will not take place in 2020 due to Covid-19.
The Irish Shows Association (ISA) has said its board will be meeting regularly by conference call over the coming weeks and will continue to monitor the situation.
A spokesperson for the association said: “At all times, we will abide by government and public health guidelines. It is not an easy decision to take for any show committee. We will be sorry to lose these events from our calendar in 2020 and look forward to welcoming them back in 2021.”
