Irish event flies high despite recession: This year's show is making changes to cope with Ireland's current economic gloom, says Matthew Appleby

摘要

The Kildare Growers Trade Show is adapting to the recession in the Irish economy by introducing a trolley fair and rallying exhibitors to cope with the end of the housing boom in Ireland. The 23rd annual trade event, to be held in Punchestown Event Centre, Naas, County Kildare, on 24-25 July, will be visited by minister of state for food and horticulture Trevor Sargent. Bord na Mona and Horticulture Ireland/Bord Bia will again sponsor the running of the 5,000-visitor show.
