Tom Sinnott of Wexford Home Preserves, chair of the Wexford Food Family said: ‘People from all over Ireland and beyond will be visiting the Gifted fair at the RDS this year and we are proud to be giving them a great experience of

Wexford’s fabulous food offering. We hope that we get some visitors from Wexford too – they will be very welcome at our stands.’
