Tramore to host air show ?

Tramore in Co. Waterford could host an airshow on Sunday August 30 if proposals presented to the town's council are accepted. Michael Nolan, an air traffic controller and Dave Scully promoter of the event made a presentation to Tramore Town Council last week.  Work is already under way to raise the estimated €85,000 needed to fund the event. A licence from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) and a public events licence from Waterford Co. Council would also be required to stage the seafront spectacular. It is envisaged that the 3 hour show would be viewed by a 50,000 strong crowd on the Sunday with smaller numbers visiting on the Saturday to view the practice sessions.

The town's Council have indicated that they will do all in their power to help secure the necessary permits.
