The Irish Shows Association would advise all animal owners to have their animals insured and to have the insurance cover extended to cover them while travelling to show & while showing animals at Shows. We understand that it costs very little or nothing at all, depending on whom you have insurance with. NB:
The reason for this advice is that if your animal lashed out and injured someone or damaged someone’s property and it was established that your animal was out of the control at that time, you may be held responsible or partly responsible for any injury or damaged caused and you may end up paying all or part of any settlement reached.
The Committee may amalgamate classes if there are not suficient entries.
