It was announced today that an investment of one million euro will be provided for agricultural shows in 2024.
As part of the initiative, each show will receive a grant of between €6,000-€11,000 depending on their size. This leads to a total of €59,150 to be invested in Donegal, €25,050 in Leitrim, and €30,930 in Sligo.
Sligo Chair of the IFA, Michael O'Dowd, has welcomed the new funding from the government.
He says it's not just important for the agricultural show, but for the community as well.
