Údarás na Gaeltachta has welcomed Galway County Council’s decision to grant planning permission for a whiskey distillery, shop, café, tasting bar and heritage centre at Páirc Ghnó Charna, Roisín na Maithniach, Carna. Údarás had applied for planning permission for the facility on behalf of Drioglann Iarthar na Gaillimhe Teoranta.
“This grant of planning permission is good news for Iorras Aithneach and for Conamara," said Údarás chief executive, Tomás Ó Síocháin. "The new facility will greatly enhance the local area’s tourism appeal and that it will enable the team behind the distillery to develop an excellent product and a first-class visitor experience in the Iorras Aithneach area. This tourist attraction will also serve as a valuable asset for the local community.”
