Concerns have been raised over the proposals to build warehousing units in Kilcurry, Co Louth.

The units will be used to store and mature whiskey.

However, residents have raised concerns over the environmental impact they will have on the village.

Sinn Féin President and TD for Louth Gerry Adams said: "The proposal to build such a significant warehousing operation in such a rural setting is causing justifiable concerns amongst the local residents in Kilcurry.

"Residents have come together in the village and feel strongly about the potential size, location, and environmental impact this may have on their community. I understand that a petition has also been started.

"While we all welcome new industry and development in the county, it must at all times be mindful of local concerns and have input from the communities involved."
