“It’s one of the biggest horse shows in Europe. It’s so sought after, they bring the top horses from around the world to come to Dublin to show them off,” said Mr Mulreany, dressed sharply in silver-grey slacks and a waistcoat. “We’re so privileged to have it.”
“It’s lovely to come and just see the horses, and just see all that goes on, there’s just so much at it,” she said. “We started bringing the kids years ago, when they were small. It’s just a great day out.”“In recent years we’ve been coming, and I used to come here as a child, so it really takes back lovely memories,” she said.
