Loughs Agency chief executive Sharon McMahon was delighted to see the Carlingford catchment included in US President Joe Biden’s visit to Ireland.
Following his arrival in Belfast on Tuesday (11 April), President Biden then travelled across the border into Co Louth on Wednesday afternoon (12 April), stopping for a tour of King John’s Castle which overlooks the scenic Carlingford Lough.
McMahon said: “We were delighted to see President Biden enjoying his visit to Carlingford, an area of outstanding natural beauty and marine resources that offers unique opportunities for visitors to connect with the surroundings.
“As a North—South organisation, we are committed to promoting sustainable development while also conserving the natural environment.
“Beyond the breathtaking views of the lough, Carlingford also boasts beautiful mountain views, stunning valleys and a wide range of fishing options for a variety of anglers, from trout fishing in the rivers and lakes to sea angling from the shore.”
The Loughs Agency CEO added: “Mr Biden’s visit is one of positivity and we are confident that it will further enhance Carlingford’s reputation as a popular tourism destination. We look forward to welcoming many more visitors in the near future.”
