Joe O'Reilly (Fine Gael)

I welcome our guests. On a personal level, I welcome Mr. Colm O’Callaghan, in particular. He and his family are neighbours of mine from home. We are very proud of his success in this sphere and his involvement here. I am delighted to share a forum with Mr. O’Callaghan as a neighbour. I also welcome his colleagues.

I wish to ask a popular question that relates to the Chairman’s line of questioning. A common concern relates to the Irish whiskey trade with America. Mr. Sweetman might comment on this in the context of tariffs. Could he take that question first if he does not mind? I will go through a list of small matters.
