West Cork Distillers warehousing objection covered by YayCork

By Calvin Jones on August 27, 2021

Popular cork media site YayCork featured a piece about the Tullig & Reenascreena Community's objections to West Cork Distillers' inappropriate industrial warehousing development on their site yesterday. It's great to see the issue getting media traction and word spreading about the proposed development.

Our media campaign is gaining pace, with local and national media outlets, including RTÉ Television News and Cork's RedFM, getting in touch about covering the story.

That changes the narrative, so pending media coverage is on standby awaiting West Cork Distillers' next move.

Well post an update here about the development soon.
