Nine agricultural shows in Clare are to receive a welcome boost.
63,000 euro in Government funding has been granted for the county by the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring as part of a national allocation benefitting 120 agricultural shows throughout the country.
The Clarecastle, Corofin, Ennistymon, Kildysart, Kilrush, Mullagh, Newmarket-on-Fergus, Bridgetown and Scariff shows will each benefit from a 7,000 euro cash injection in 2018.
