Important Notice to Animal Owners involved in showing animals at Shows
The Irish Shows Association recommends that all animal owners with insurance ensure their coverage extends to include their animals while participating in shows. This extention may come at little to no additional cost, depending on your insurer.
This advice is given because, if your animals were to injure someone or damage property, and it is determined that the animal was beyond your control at that time; you could be held fully or partially responsible for any injury or damage caused. As a result, you may be liable for all, or part of any Court Award or settlement.
