JUST five years after building a cross-country course at the venue, Millstreet is bidding to host the 2022 World Championships for eventing at the impressive Co Cork venue.

The Duggan family’s facility is among three formal bids to host the eventing, and the other two are both as part of a multi-discipline World Equestrian Games bid. Italy are looking to once again host the full Games, like they did in 1998, while the other bid for the WEG format is the Saudi Arabian capital city of Riyadh.
