8 Chairperson s Message It is an honour and a privilege as the chairperson of the North Sligo Agricultural Show to present this the 70th Annual show which will be held on Sat 30th July Each year we as a committee try to cater for our extensive groups and spectators and exhibitors by putting together the best displays and exhibits possible to please and entertain all ages. The morning programme is comprised of cattle, sheep, horses, ponies, poultry, and home industries, exhibits and judging. The afternoon programme has fun and entertainment for all the family that is our dog show, bonny baby, lurcher racing, speed shearing, and novelty sheep racing with lots more to see and do in our show field. Our committee has invited local musicians and dancers and at 3pm Gerry Gutherie will take to the stage followed by the crowning of our Show Queen and our Monster Raffle winners will be drawn, followed by entertainment in our bar marquee. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our generous sponsors who without their support this day would not happen, also our hard working committee members, stewards and helpers on the day and to the individuals and organisations who put their facilities at our disposal a big thank you. Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank our exhibitors and the public for their continued support over the years and we hope you all have a very memorable and safe day.

17 IRISH LAW (EU DIRECTIVE) Under Irish Law all horses moving from one location to another must be accompanied by their passports. It is in your own interest to ensure this is the case. Failure to do so is an offence under Irish Law and is liable on summary conviction to result in a fine up to All passports must be registered with the name of the current owner. Embryo Transfer: Where a foal is produced by this method the dams passport must bear a declaration dated, stamped and signed by the stallion owner (or accredited practitioner where AI is involved) stating the date of which the dam was last covered (or inseminated) and the name of the covering stallion. The owners of Champions and Reserve Champions are invited to submit the animals passports to the I.S.A head office where the placing will be endorsed and officially stamped with the seal of the Irish Shows Association as a permanent record. It is in the interest of shows hosting championship finals that photographs and results are forwarded to the Irish Farmers Journal immediately following judging. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ANIMAL OWNERS INVOLVED IN SHOWING ANIMALS The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners who have their animals Insured to have the Insurance cover extended to cover them while showing Animals at Shows, we understand that it costs very little or nothing at all depending on who you have Insurance cover with. If you are one of the few who don t have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this purpose it may be well worthwhile. The reason for us giving you this advise is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out and injuring someone or damaging someone s property, if that were to happen and it was established that your animal was out of your control you may be held responsible or partly responsible for injury or damage caused and may end up paying all or part of the settlement reached. 14

18 Dept of Agricultural Bovine Regulations - Cattle Important information for organisers of Show s and Exhibitors of Cattle 2016 The following changes are being introduced for keepers of bovine animals who wish to show cattle - these changes apply from the 2014 Show season. Keepers of cattle are now required to obtain a Certificate of Compliance prior to the movement of an animal to a Show. Certificates of Compliance can be obtained online from the Animal Identification and Movement (AIM) system through the facility or from the Cattle Movement Notification Agency. When applying for a Certificate of Compliance, keepers should not specify a destination herd. On the day of the Show, the Certificate of Compliance should be presented to the Show Secretary along with the bovine passport for the animal. The keeper and the Show Secretary will then sign the Movement Notification section of the Certificate which will then be sent to the local DVO for recording onto the AIM system. Please note that only cattle for which a valid Certificate of Compliance is provided to the Show Secretary will be allowed to be shown on the day of the Show. These Certificates will replace the previously-used CMMS 4 forms.

104 Dept of Agricultural Ovine Regulations - Sheep SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS SHEEP Identification All sheep must be identified individually with appropriate ear tags issued in accordance with the requirements of the National Sheep Identification System (NSIS). Movement Documentation All consignments of sheep being moved must be accompanied by a completed dispatch document. Individual details of each sheep in the consignment must be recorded on the document. Sheep from non-restricted flocks only can be moved to shows. In the case of flocks restricted following diagnosis of scrapie, sheep possessing the ARR/ARR genotype only may be exhibited1. The movement of these ARR/ARR genotype sheep must be accompanied by the relevant movement permit (SCR/10), which can be obtained from the local District Veterinary Office in the county where the flock is located. AIM Notification The movement of sheep to and from an Agricultural Show within the State must be recorded on AIM. This is done using a copy of the owners sheep dispatch document as follows: 1.The owner/keeper presents the signed and completed dispatch document to the show secretary who checks it to ensure that it is completed in full. 2.The show secretary fills in the MART section of the dispatch document with (i) the show number, (ii) the date of the move back to the source holding (iii) stamps it with the show stamp and (iv) signs the dispatch document. 3.The show secretary then forwards the completed pink section of the dispatch document to the local DVO within 7 days of the show movement. 4.The show secretary keeps white copy for his/her records. 5.The source/destination keeper keeps the bottom yellow copy to enter it into their flock register. Ultimate responsibility for fulfilling this requirement lies with the Show Secretary. Flock Register All movements of sheep to and from shows must be recorded in the keeper s flock register. Exports to Northern Ireland All sheep must be accompanied by a TRACES intra-community trade certificate for ovine animals. A TRACES message, corresponding with the TRACES certificate, will be sent for each animal or consignment being dispatched to the show (this will be performed by Department officials of the DVO). Exhibitors are advised to contact the show society in Northern Ireland well in advance of any show to determine the suitability of the show for return of animals (e.g. premises and sheep status), and whether the authorities will have officials and veterinary staff present to supervise and process documentation for animals returning to origin. Agreement for the movement and immediate return of sheep to a Show in another country or vice versa currently applies for movements between Ireland and Northern Ireland only it does not apply for movements to Great Britain or further afield. Movements to shows other than Northern Ireland, will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis and you should contact your local District Veterinary Office at least one month prior to the Show.
