Extensive storm damage at the FBD tent at the Ploughing site.
ADVERTISEMENT
Anna May McHugh has decided there will be no interruption by Mother Nature at this year’s Ploughing.
Exhibitors will have to certify that tents and marquees can withstand strong winds, to the satisfaction of insurer FBD.
Certification would already be available for bigger stands put up for clients such as the Department of Agriculture and Teagasc. Smaller stands will have to be inspected after construction, probably by FBD or one of its technical experts.

Last year’s abandonment of the Wednesday show thankfully ensured there were no injuries but was disruptive and costly to exhibitors and the NPA alike.
