Irish Distillers to create large number of jobs

IRISH DISTILLERS is shortly expected to announce the creation of a large number of jobs as part of a multi-million euro expansion of its processing plant in Midleton, Co Cork.

The announcement, which is expected within the next fortnight, is being driven by the phenomenal growth in sales of its premium product, Jameson whiskey.

Last year the company saw a 20% increase in the sale of the brand, which amounted to 3 million cases sold globally.
