Showcase, is Ireland’s Largest ‘Creative Expo’ taking place at the RDS . In 2011, more than 350 of the country’s leading designers, manufacturers and craftspeople took part with buyers from over 17 countries including North America, continental Europe and Japan, who are seeking out the best of Irish fashion, jewellery, giftware and interiors products.
