Tim Lombard (FG), Agricultural Panel

I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive acknowledgement that money is held in trust to the amount of €400,000 to help the show societies. The review that is in place for the 2022 session is very much welcomed. Will the Minister of State elaborate on when that review will be finalised, taking into consideration that many of these shows will start in May?
If the Minister of State comes to my part of the world, we have 12 wonderful shows. If he gets the opportunity to call to west Cork over the summer, I am sure we could find a show very close to where he stays. He would have a great opportunity to see what is wonderful about west Cork and the show societies we have.
