Managing director of family business Boann Distillery, Pat Cooney, said if Irish whiskey is hit with 15pc tariffs, there will be a “serious” impact, as he calls on the Government to back “indigenous” business following Donald Trump’s trade deal with the EU.
Mr Cooney (78) – whose four adult children work at the company along with 100 staff – has been running Boann Distillery in Drogheda, Co Meath, since 2015.
