Mr. Clive Carter:

On whiskey, there is a contradiction in the whiskey technical files which I am led to believe are being reopened or revisited soon enough. A cream liqueur has to be made with Irish cream or milk, but there is absolutely nothing stating that Irish grain has to be used in the production of beer or spirits, including whiskey. That needs to be revisited. Fantastic work has been done by Teagasc and SETU Carlow on the use of Irish wheat to replace some of the imported maize and achieve as good a volume of alcohol. That is one area which could get give rise to tillage demand.
