Taoiseach in Cork to launch €100m distillery expansion

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has turned the sod on a new €100m expansion of the Jameson whiskey distillery in Midleton, Co Cork.

Jameson owners Irish Distillers previously announced the investment to accommodate rising demand for Irish whiskey around the world, with some 3.4 million cases of Jameson sold last year and the distillery now operating at full capacity.
