Plans for craft brewery in Dundalk move a step closer

Posted on by

Plans for a new craft brewery in Dundalk moved a step closer this week after conditional planning permission was granted for the facility just off the Inner Relief Road.

Last year the Dundalk Bay Brewing Company applied to Louth County Council for planning permission to change part of a building at the Finnabair Business and Technology Park into a brewing facility.

After further information was submitted, the planning office have granted the go ahead for the project subject to eight conditions, none of which should be a major barrier to the project going ahead.

The craft beer market has been a major boom in Ireland in recent years, with sales this year expected to be up five-fold on 2013.

Dundalk, of course, has a wealth of brewing experience having employed hundreds at the Great Northern Brewery on the Carrick Road and MacArdle Moore Brewery on the Ardee Road, both of which have now closed.

A new craft brewery could be on its way to Dundalk.

Last week the Dundalk Bay Brewing Company applied to Louth County Council for planning permission to change part of a building at the Finnabair Business and Technology Park into a brewing facility.

While the application was deemed invalid by the planning office, it is anticipated that the group will return with a completed application shortly.

Dundalk Bay Brewing Company was set up just last month by locally-based sisters Faye and Katie Healy, from Blackrock, who are also listed as directors of Spectac International Limited on the Coes Road.
