Unlikely Cork business partnership produces one millionth bottle of hand sanitiser

A partnership between a distillery and an animal nutrition lab is about to produce its one millionth bottle of hand sanitiser within days.

And global distillery giant Irish Distillers, which produces Jameson at its distillery in Midleton in East Cork, says it is committed to maintaining its supply of pure alcohol to Mervue Laboratory in Watergrasshill, north of the city, for the production of the hand-gel for those on the frontline for as long as it can.
