The following link accesses an RTE archive video on most likely the Seiko Shore angling Competition held on the beaches south of Greystones, Co. Wicklow in September 1989, http://www.rte.ie/archives/2014/0903/641105-greystones-angling-competition-1989/
The following month, October 1989 Greystones hosted the European Surfcasting Championships (see attached souvenir brochure front cover).
The latter competition in today's money is worth a local cash injection of at least €100,000 before the positive tourism messages are taken into account.
Wicklow, Greystones and Ireland can have all the above again pending a change in fisheries management approach.
Given that the IFSA website is currently down due to refurbishment work will a senior member of the Leinster Council committee and or the IFSA executive contact me through this post or my website http://www.anirishanglersworld.com or http://www.anirishanglersworld.com/inde ... irca-1989/ re an inshore fisheries management proposal I am trying to gain traction on.
Sincerely,
Ashley
