85th National Coursing Festival in Clonmel

The 85th National Coursing Festival takes place in Clonmel on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week (1/2/3 Feb).  There is a large influx  of visitors to the town every year and it has been estimated that over €10 million is spent in Clonmel and its environs during the course of the festival.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our members at the Irish Coursing Club every success for the event.

We have also been asked to remind members of the increased traffic in the area for the three days and especially in the vicinity of Powerstown Park on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 

Canadian Ambassador Meets with Clonmel Chamber

Representatives from Clonmel Chamber met with Mr. Patrick Binns, Canadian Ambassador to Ireland and Suzanne Cormie, Senior Canadian Trade Ambassador at Hotel Minella earlier this week.  Both parties discussed areas of common interest and have agreed to host an event in Clonmel later this year where Chamber members can explore opportunities to sell their products into the Canadian and North American market.  Canada offers huge scope for members companies as it is a member of NAFTA and as such has free trade access to the USA and Mexico. 

The event with the Canadian embassy will be one of a number of events this year with embassies where we will be exploring opportunities abroad for Chamber members.  We will have further details shortly of the first event in the series.
