The Tullamore Show and FBD National Livestock Show took place on Sunday (August 14) for the first time since 2019 on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Warm and dry weather brought people from all over the country to the one-day event which organisers say drew in excess of 60,000 people.

The sheep section had 14 breeds involved, including the Texel; Vendeen; Suffolk; Charollais Rouge de l’Ouest; Galway; Beltex; Lleyn; and Jacob breeds.
