The green light has been given to convert part of the estate of Curraghmore House in Co Waterford into a whiskey distillery and visitor centre. 

Richard de la Poer Beresford, the Earl of Tyrone and son of Lord Waterford, intends to develop a space to produce 250,000 litres of "carbon neutral, organic Irish whiskey" annually.
