This is your second year at the helm, can you tell us how you have settled into the role of director and describe some highlights, and perhaps some challenges, you have encountered thus far?

Yes, but in truth it not all that different, I’ve been in the RDS and working on the Dublin Horse Show for a long time, so stepping into the role was more of a continuation than a leap. I already knew the rhythms of the Show, the people, and the expectations, which made the adjustment quite natural.
