New permanent webcam in Monaghan Town

Monaghan WebCam

Monaghan County Council have recently installed a new permanent webcam overlooking the Diamond area in Monaghan Town. Live footage from the webcam can be viewed via our website at the following link: https://monaghan.ie/monaghan-web-cam/

As I hope you agree, the Diamond looks spectacular and as you can see preparations are well underway for the annual Country Music Festival taking place this weekend in the town. Feel free to share this link with all your friends and family especially those aboard so that they can see a little piece of home, or even for you just to keep an eye on the festival from the comfort of your own armchair!

For Data Protection reasons this is just a live stream and is not being recorded, no sound is available but you can have great fun guessing what song is being played at the Country Music Festival by the pace and rhythm of the jivers!
