Firefighters are tackling a blaze at the former Donaghy's Mill site in Drogheda, Co Louth.

The building has been vacant for a number of years and is derelict.

A number of units of Drogheda Fire Brigade are at the scene this evening trying to bring the blaze under control.

No one has been injured and it is not yet known how the fire started.

Trinity Street in the town has been closed and motorists are advised to drive with care.

The site has been the scene of several fires in recent years.

Donaghy’s Mill, beside the River Boyne, was a four-storey former mill built around 1820 and later used as  a shoe factory.

It was also home to pirate radio station Boyneside Radio in the 1970s.

They should be made restore it if that is the case, SB. They made that O'Callaghan cunt who owns the Mont Clare and the Davenport (among others including one in Gibraltar) reinstate the car park he demolished or burnt out a few years back.

Same goes for Archers Garage in Fenian Street  and the Chapelgate convent on Alphonsus Road.
The plans was, have so called vandals torch a site on  bank holiday.
Then claim the structure is too far gone to save.
Bulldoze it and put up a cheap building...and pay a €1000 fine to the council.
They weren't expecting a 4th year architecture student to have the blueprints for Archers Garage, and had to fully reinstate it.

I’m delighted that this happened, the building had a preservation order on it and they tried to pull a stroke of a bank holiday. I think the “driveway” would make a beautiful hotel entrance, if only it wasn’t on Fenian Street

Have to agree there.. Archers in Fenian Street drive in as superb.Worked across the road from it in the late 60s.Has that 60s look

The facade and roof on the garage at the top of Whitworth Road ( which is now The Whitworth/Porter house) was sold on under preservation law to a business in the U.K.
It too was Art Deco like Archers Garage. .

No. The Whitworth is opposite the Brian Boru.

I lived in the old Mill on Cross Guns Quay.
The bakery was still up and running in 2003 when I moved into Chapelgate.
