Irish Farm Expo - City West Dublin - Worth a Visit?

Van Nistilroy

I see an aadvertisement in the journal for the Irish Farm Expo in the city west exhibtion centre in Dublin. www.irishfarmexpo.ie . The entrance is a tenner for adults and it takes aplace on the 7th and 8th of February. I will be in Dublin that week and I am wondering did anyone attend last year and is it worth a visit?

This is the first year the show has been held so alot of eyes will be on it.I know quite a few manufacturers are attending but I think they will need to ramp up the advertising in the coming weeks as very few have even heard of the show.
I will probably attend if work is slack and weather is suitable for travelling.
If your in Dublin already and seeing as its only a tenner in its surely worth a look,it cant be that bad

had a look at the website listed, and it gives no information that i can see about what is happening at the expo, what kind of events are on. what companies will be there etc.
hard to justify going for a look if we don't know what is at it.
there is a lot of events, information meetings, conferences happening over the next month.

Consider it a mirror of the FTMTA show although I suspect it will struggle to get the same attendance from the big manufacturers

Who's heading to the Farm Expo in City West next Tuesday and Wednesday (7th/8th Feb).

I'll probably let it settle in for a year or two before I go.....;)

Too short notice, I'm busy all week coming.

Just out of it there, poor crowd. Decent level of machinery and reasonable stands but poor showing overall.

I went to it on Tuesday! Great comfort walking around.All the same faces/stalls from the Cavan show.Great if you wanted detailed discussion on machines as the sales boys had nearly no one to talk to when I was there.Quotes were the very same as Cavan for the two machines I was interested in,so basically I should have stayed at home.
