A massive income of €1.338 million was generated by the Tullamore Show and the FBD National Livestock Show in 2023, the AGM of the body's executive was told on Wednesday night last.
Auditor, Michael Kinsella of BCA Tax & Business Consultants Ltd, revealed the event recorded a surplus of €92,036, down from €115,970 in 2022.
“Overall it was a very healthy return,” said Mr Kinsella who added the trade stands section had a very impressive year, recording its best ever Show.
Thanking executive members, office staff and volunteers for their input into the event's success, Show Chairman, Joe Molloy said two new attractions – the Sustainable Livestock Village and the Culinary Food Emporium – proved very successful.
The importance of sustainability in agriculture was stressed by guest speaker, Paul Nolan, Development Manager at Dawn Meats, who played a pivotal role in the Livestock Village along with Commercial Cattle Section chief, Michael Dolan.
“Sustainability will be at the centre of our industry for some time to come and it needs to be be demystified,” stressed Mr Nolan.
He added: “We need to bring it down to brass tacks . . . it's about being sustainable for the environment and for ourselves.”
A comprehensive overview of the Show's sections was provided at the AGM in the Bridge House Hotel by executive members Callum McNamara, Connie Walton, John Egan and Stephen Connolly.
