#ANGLING - A new film on fishing in south Donegal will have its premiere this Thursday, the Donegal Democrat reports.
The film, The Blue Stack Mountains, is the fourth in a series on angling in Ireland by German producer Dietrich Bohnhorst, whose previous fishing documentaries have been broadcast on television around the world.
According to Bohnhorst, who has lived in Donegal for 25 years, his latest film “describes a journey from Glenties, through Commeen, Stranorlar, Ballybofey and back over Barnesmore Gap to Donegal town."
It also pays special attention to “about 40 lakes which lie in the Blue Stacks, how to get there and where to fish, what flies to use and so on.”
Bohnhorst hopes his film will help to break the "invisible line" that he says has cut off the "under-promoted" Donegal from the marketing of angling in Ireland.
All are invited to the premiere at Solis Lough Eske Castle this Thursday at 8pm. Admission is free.

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.
