2 September 2015
Today’s announcement that 80 jobs are to be created in Drogheda with the opening of Boann Distillery’s new facility has been welcomed Ged Nash.
Opening in 2016, the €20m Drogheda based facility will include a whiskey distillery , Boyne Brewhouse craft brewery and taproom, an architecturally designed visitor centre which will host distillery and brewery tours, a 120 seater restaurant, whiskey bar, private event space, and a gift shop.
Minister Nash said, “This is really fantastic news for Drogheda and the wider Boyne Valley. I want to welcome the Boann Distillery to the area and in particular welcome home Pat Cooney, a Drogheda native, who has made his name in the drinks industry.
“The 80 new jobs in the distillery, brewery and the visitor centre will be a really welcome boost to Drogheda, but will also add huge value to the area as a tourist destination. I am delighted that my Department, through Enterprise Ireland, is supporting the new company.”
