Diageo plans to seek approval from Kildare County Council to double capacity at its €200m carbon-neutral brewery in Littleconnell, Newbridge.
The expansion would boost output to 4.5 million hectolitres.
The site is already a hub for lagers and ales including Rockshore, Harp, Smithwick’s and Carlsberg.
