Údarás na Gaeltachta is to lodge a planning application with Galway County Council for a whiskey distillery, shop, café, tasting bar and heritage centre, on behalf of Drioglann Iarthar na Gaillimhe Teoranta at Páirc Ghnó Charna, Roisín na Maithniach, Carna.
Údarás has said it believes the new facility will greatly enhance the local area’s tourism product, 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.
