The stage is set for Tullamore Show 2025 this Sunday
According to the organisers, volunteers are working tirelessly to prepare the site, assemble tents and set up the show rings for the various displays of animals to arrive.
This year's show has many new additions and attractions. In terms of livestock, the show will feature the Vallais Blacknose sheep as well as the popular Fleckvieh dairy breed.
In addition, goats are making a welcome addition to this year's show.
Meanwhile, the Sustainable Livestock Village will be powered by hydrogen this year, a first of a kind setup for an outdoor event in Ireland, the Tullamore Show said.
The village is being delivered in partnership with Offaly County Council and the ESB to reinforce the village's commitment to practical, low-carbon innovation.
The Tullamore Show organisers said that "trade stands are busting at the seams", confirming that there will be 30% more machinery stands than at last year's show.

Inside Micheal Aodh Martin's life as Taoiseach's son announces engagement
The Taoiseach's son Micheál Aodh Martin is getting married to his partner, Maryclaire Fitzpatrick. The son of Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Micheál Aodh announced his engagement to his partner while on holiday in Montenegro — leaving some women heartbroken in its wake, as a few years ago he went viral for being the Taoiseach's 'hot son'. But there's more to Micheál Junior than just his engagement and viral good looks. Micheál Aodh Martin, the son of Taoiseach Micheál Martin. Pic: Eóin Noonan/Sportsfile One of the Taoiseach's five children, Micheál Aodh Martin, is the eldest son of his politician father. His two siblings, Ruairí and Léana, tragically died when they were young — Rúairí aged just five weeks due to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and Léana passed away shortly before her eighth birthday of a heart condition in London. Micheál Aodh is a senior manager at PwC, but is best known for being an accomplished GAA goalkeeper — making county and being the starting goalkeeper for Cork, as well as Nemo Rangers. At club level, Micheál Aodh won two Munster Senior Club Football Championships in 2017 and 2019, and won four Cork Premier Senior Championships — the fourth time of which in 2020 when he served as captain. At county level, he also saw honours — winning the Under-21 Munster title in 2014. Micheál Aodh went viral back in 2020, when he became known as the Taoiseach's 'hot son.' Pic: Chris Radburn/PA Wire Micheál Aodh went viral in 2020 when he and his family were photographed voting in the general election, and while politicians voting with their families is almost passé in this day and age, the photo went crazy on Twitter — thanks to Micheál Aodh's looks. At the time, people tweeted about Mr Martin's son, including one writing 'I'm not a fan of Micheál Martin BUT did anyone else see his son on the news there??? MASSIVE fan of him, jayyysus?' 'I'm late to the 'Micheál Martin's Son Is A Ride' party. But I'm here now,' another wrote, while another tweeted 'where has Micheál Martin been hiding his son??' Despite his popularity, his father told the Laughs of Your Life that Micheál Aodh won't be getting a big head; saying that his son got 'an awful slagging from his teammates at the time,' and added that the people of Cork wouldn't let him get a big head, saying 'If you have notions, they'll take you down to size.' Micheál Aodh announced his engagement to his partner, Maryclaire Fitzpatrick, on Thursday. Pic: X/ Micheal Aodh Martin Micheál Aodh popped the question to his partner Maryclaire Fitzpatrick while on holiday in Montenegro, sharing a photo of his now fiancée holding up her engagement ring on his personal Instagram. He later confirmed to EVOKE that he and Maryclaire are getting hitched, joking in the caption of the announcement photo, 'successful summer holiday.' The couple met while studying in UCC, when they were both studying commerce — with Maryclaire being a brand manager for Musgraves. In a statement on Thursday evening, Mr Martin said that he was delighted his son was getting married, saying that he 'wishes them a lifetime of happiness and the very best for the future.'
