Galway Welcomes Anglers for Irish Fly Fair

Fly fishing enthusiasts will converge on Galway next month as the city hosts the first annual Irish Fly Fair.

Some of the world's top fly tyers will be on hand to show off their craft, and professional casters will demonstrate how to make the most of your lure for catching trout, salmon and others.

The fair will also feature a marketplace where tackle suppliers and other dealers will be sure to offer great bargains for Christmas, while seafood dishes are definitely on the menu for visitors.

Those new to the sport can try their hand on a range of fly fishing simulators, and Galway Aquarium will introduce visitors to the wide range of wildlife in our coastal waters.

The two-day fair takes place at the Galway Bay Hotel in Salthill from 13-14 November. For details visit www.irishflyfair.com

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
