It's time to raise a glass - or three - Killarney is set to see its third whiskey distillery developed.

An Bord Pleanála has paved the way for a new whiskey distillery in the parish of Fossa, just outside Killarney. The three distilleries are within a stone's throw of each other, with the Kerry town making a name for itself as a whiskey producer.
