County Monaghan is hosting its first world class angling event all this week at Lough Muckno.
The National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland has been awarded the honour of hosting the 6th edition of this event by the Fédéracion International de la Pêche Sportive.
The town of Castleblayney is set for a welcome boost to the local economy and for angling tourism due to the hosting of this event.
Chair of Carrickmacross-Castleblayney Municipal District, Aidan Campbell has been talking to our reporter Ronan Gargan about this angling event that is underway.
The local councillor has been telling Ronan all about the event which he says will put the wider Monaghan area on the world stage when it comes to angling and outlines the benefits it will have on the wider Castleblayney area.
