The following passage to be written in ordinary script:Virginia is one of the most scenic towns in the North East of the country. It sits on theshores of Lough Ramor, the second largest lake of the 365 lakes in County Cavan.Many small rivers and their contributories flow into the lake at Virginia and these create amyriad of small ponds and pools.

Agriculture and farming are very much to the fore in Virginia and in County Cavan. So it’sno surprise to find that Virginia Agricultural Show, held in August each year, has beenrunning very successfully for the past 71 years. (http://virginia400.ie) accessed 12.06.12.
