Distillery: We have broken no laws

A newly opened distillery in Dingle, Co Kerry, has denied it is in breach of the planning laws.

Kerry County Council has issued a warning notice to Porterhouse Ltd that certain works have been carried out in the distillery without planning permission.

Whiskey production began last week on the site of the old sawmills in Dingle, in what is believed to be the first purpose-built distillery for a new whiskey in Ireland in more than 200 years.
