Irish Distillers, the company behind some of the best known Irish whiskey brands such as Jameson, Powers and Midleton, has started making alcohol gel to help fight the unfolding coronavirus crisis in Ireland.
The Irish whiskey manufacturer approached the HSE earlier this week and said it could make available large quantities of alcohol free of charge to be used to make hand-sanitiser gel.

Working with its partners Mervue Laboratories in Cork, Irish Distillers said production of hand sanitiser would commence immediately, with finished product being delivered to the HSE’s supply centre for further distribution to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
“We stand committed to the people and communities of Ireland during this difficult time and we will continue to collaborate with the health authorities so as to ensure our efforts are channelled to greatest effect. We are committed to maintaining supply to the maximum levels possible for as long as possible,” said Irish Distillers in a statement.
