Speaking at the launch event, Limerick Show Society President, Leo Walsh, told the Limerick Post, “It’s very important for Limerick, Limerick Show goes back a long way and I hope it may continue into the future.
“Shows are under a bit of pressure, agricultural shows, that’s why we have broadened it this year, to get the young people involved, and city people involved, have a carnival kind of atmosphere.”
Mr Walsh noted the show won’t just be about agriculture, it will “be a fantastic day out at only €10 to get in”.
“We have Sean O’Dowd playing and some fantastic entertainment throughout the day, especially for the kids before they go back to school.”
