Some Irish bodybuilders are excellent. The standard is obviously not up to top NPC level, but alot of them have very good physiques and when you see them in person they are very impressive. There weren't more than 10 guys competing in the open classes I'd say, but there were plenty between all the classes (first timers, novices, intermediates as well).

No, as I said in another thread they do themselves no favours with promotion. There should be a NABBA.ie etc. It tends to be incestuous between the few bbing gyms in town like Unique Physique etc...
