The fire began around midday today as workmen were repairing a roof of a rarely used building at the St James’ Gate factory.

Guinness’s brewer Diageo has said there has been no injuries and the site has been evacuated while firefighters tackle the blaze, though production is continuing in other areas of the site.

YouTube users have been loading up short videos which show how much smoke is billowing out of the factory.
