Irish whiskey sales to US were in decline even before tariffs
Exports fell by value and volume in 2024 ahead of 10pc levy which is putting extra pressure on producers
Today at 21:30
Irish whiskey sales to America declined last year, even before the imposition of US president Donald Trump's tariffs, which have put a further dent in the market.
According to figures given to the Dáil by Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe, Ireland exported €410m worth of whiskey to the US in 2024. This was down from €420m the previous year.

Failure of EU-US trade talks would have immediate ramifications for budget, Taoiseach warns
The failure of EU-US trade talks would have immediate ramifications for the upcoming budget , Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned. 'There's no doubt that the tariff situation does create a completely different context leading into this budget,' Mr Martin said at the National Economic Dialogue event in Dublin. US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 50 per cent tariffs on imports from the European Union (EU) but has put a stay on the measure until July 9th to allow for talks. 'Until it's resolved and until certainty is restored then it will be challenging in terms of the signing of a new budget,' Mr Martin said. READ MORE 'Europe is working very hard with its counterparts in the US to get a negotiated deal,' he said. Brussels negotiators hope that by agreeing to a 10 per cent US tariff on all EU exports, they can avoid higher tariffs on cars, medicines, and electronics. Mr Martin failed to rule out the prospect of providing tax breaks for developers in the budget in a bid to boost the supply of apartments amid a slowdown in construction. [ VAT rate for hospitality to be cut in budget, Harris says Opens in new window ] 'I don't want to speculate in relation to taxation measures. Certainly on the National Development Plan, on the public expenditure side, very significant priority is being given to the housing issue,' he said. 'We're looking right across the board about how we can get more houses built faster,' he said. Will rent reform make building apartments viable? Listen | 40:12 'There was a need to create a certainty in policy to bring private sector investment,' he said. The Taoiseach also defended the rapid rise in spending in recent budgets, which the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (Ifac) has flagged as a major risk to the public finances. 'We've had unprecedented events that have impacted recent budgets, Covid-19 in particular, and the inflationary spiral that followed' and the influx of Ukranian refugees, he said. 'We've had increased population growth on a significant scale over the last number of years, combined with infrastructural deficits (that) means there has to be a degree of catching up,' 'That said expenditure is high,' Mr Martin said, noting 'the important thing was to get a sustainable fiscal framework that balances revenue with expenditure'. In a report last week, Ifac warned that public spending was rising much faster than planned and that this was the result of 'poor budgeting' on the Government's part It said current spending was up 6 per cent so far this year, well above the 1.4 per cent uplift outlined in the Budget.

Sligo below the national average for e-waste recycling
The country's biggest e-waste recycling scheme is now calling for a national leap forward in "e-waste intelligence" as electrical device consumption reaches record levels - with vapes and solar panels driving a 75pc surge in sales over the last five years. A total of 93 million household electronic items were purchased in 2024, putting pressure on Ireland's ability to meet EU recycling targets which are based on sales volumes, regardless of product life cycle or whether they can be reused. This is almost three times the volume sold in 2006, according to WEEE Ireland, with a reported 31 million vape and e-cigarette devices sold last year alone, and 2.5 million solar PV panels installed in the last five years. 'Each one of those 93 million devices contains valuable materials like aluminium, copper, lithium, cobalt,' said Leo Donovan, CEO of WEEE Ireland. 'We're using these materials far faster than they can regenerate. Global demand is set to triple by 2050 - a trajectory that cannot be sustained. 'With over 80pc of the EU's rare earths coming from China, Ireland's dependence on imports leaves us dangerously exposed. People must reduce that risk by rethinking consumption, embracing circularity, and recovering more materials here at home.' The number of consumer electronics placed on the Irish market has tripled from 31 million in 2006 to 93 million in 2024. The most rapid growth has come since 2019 when 53 million units were sold. Vaping devices alone accounted for a third of all units sold last year. Even excluding vapes and solar panels, consumption is still climbing - a challenge given that EU recycling targets are based on a percentage of sales and don't take account of long product lifecycles or reusability. WEEE Ireland says this approach is fundamentally flawed. 'We are penalised for selling long-life items like solar PV panels,' said Donovan. 'Over 2.5 million panels have entered the market in the last five years, but with warranties of 15 to 20 years, they won't reach recycling centres for at least another decade. Yet they still count toward our annual recycling target. That's not circular thinking.' Further distorting the picture is the untracked volume of online purchases from many overseas sellers, a gap recently acknowledged by the European Commission. New WEEE Ireland research also shows the proportion of households hoarding unused devices rose from 22pc in 2023 to 29pc in 2025, highlighting a massive untapped opportunity for reuse and repair. 'We need to move beyond recycling alone. Extending the life of products through repair and reuse must become the norm,' Donovan urged. Despite these challenges, WEEE Ireland is taking the lead, working with manufacturers and retailers to scale up sustainable solutions. In 2024 alone, it collected 38,215 tonnes of e-waste, equating to 9.5kg per capita. This included large household appliances which account for a significant share of Ireland's material recovery due to their size and resource content – almost 330,000 large household appliances, over 119,000 fridge freezers and 258,000 TVs and monitors. More than 1.1 million vape devices were also recovered, despite being notoriously difficult to capture due to disposal habits, with many ending up in waste bins. WEEE Ireland says it continues to work with retailers and regulators to design more effective solutions for this new category of waste. 16.2 million small appliances - such as kettles, vacuums , tools, and toys - along with 1.9 million lighting items and 72 million AA batteries worth of portable batteries were also collected. With a 96pc recovery rate, WEEE Ireland continues to exceed EU material recovery targets and reinforce Ireland's standing as a circular economy leaders. This month, the Government allocated €27 million from the Circular Economy Fund to support further progress, and WEEE Ireland is pushing for an ambitious roadmap forward. 'Sligo has an engaged public and a high-performing recycling network,' said Donovan. 'With increased investment in recycling centres, including longer opening hours, and strong leadership, we can set the benchmark for e-waste and circular economy solutions in Europe.' Consumers can recycle their electronics for free at participating retailers or recycling centres. Check for these as well as its many free public recycling collection days across the country.

Which Dublin residential areas use the most and least electricity?
Analysis: The latest CSO report on electricity consumption in Ireland highlights some interesting facts about usage across the capital and country Electricity consumption in Irish households is up across the board, with every county in the country showing an increase. But in 2024, it was the Dublin postal districts that had the highest proportion of residential consumption at 19%, followed by Cork (12%), Dublin County (6%), Galway (6%), and Kildare (5%). This is according to the latest report on metered electricity consumption from the Central Statistics Office. This found that both residential and non-residential consumption saw a rise of 4% overall between 2023 and 2024, while Urban Residential grew by 5%, and Rural Residential by 3%. Within the Dublin postal districts, Dublin 15 (10%), Dublin 24 (9%) and Dublin 18 (6.5%) had the highest proportions of residential electricity consumption, while Dublin 2 (1.9%), Dublin 10 (1.6%) and Dublin 20 (1.3%) had the lowest. Dublin 15, which covers Ashtown, Blanchardstown, Castleknock, Coolmine, Clonsilla, Corduff, Mulhuddart, Tyrrelstown, Ongar, and Clonee (County Meath), used a total of 172 Gigwatt hours (GWh). Dublin 24, covering Firhouse, Jobstown, Old Bawn, Tallaght, parts of Ballymount, Saggart, Rathcoole and Brittas, consumed 152GWh. While residential electricity consumption was up across all Dublin postal districts between 2023 and 2024, figures from the last decade do reflect some fluctuations in our electricity usage. Overall, usage rose to a peak in 2020 and 2021 during Covid, when many were working from home, and then fell in all areas between 2021 and 2022, when energy prices also skyrocketed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. When looking at usage in any given year, the weather, naturally, has an impact (2015, for example, was a very cold year, as was 2024). Because there are so many factors that feed into consumption, it's difficult to draw definitive conclusions on what's behind any changes in individual Dublin postal districts, says Orla McCarthy, Senior Statistician with the CSO's Climate & Energy Division. One factor is the percentage of BER A-rated homes in a postal district, as they use electricity as their main fuel but are also more energy efficient. From RTÉ Radio 1's This Week, why does Ireland have the most expensive electricity in the EU? The CSO also notes that the postal district could be extracted from the routing key where an Eircode was available. In other cases, there was uncertainty between some postal districts being derived from the street name. Hence the coding at this level should be regarded as only broadly correct. Looking at the total consumption in Dublin postal code areas, McCarthy highlights that it has decreased marginally between 2015 and 2024. At the same time, the number of properties has increased, and the number of properties in Dublin whose main space heating fuel is electricity has increased, implying an "overall reduction" in the use of electricity. Looking at the country overall, median residential electricity consumption rose by 2.3% in 2024 compared with 2023, with all counties showing an increase. Counties with the lowest median residential consumption in 2024 included Donegal (2,650 kWh), Leitrim (2,700 kWh), and Mayo (2,867 kWh), while Kildare recorded the highest median figure at 3,845 kWh, followed by Meath at 3,753kWh. The CSO explains the median can be regarded as typical usage as it is not influenced by outliers in the same way that the mean or average is. Around 10% of residential customers consumed less than 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2024, significantly less than the median consumption of 3,246 kWh. Low consumption levels can indirectly indicate factors such as vacant properties, holiday homes, or energy poverty, and are also influenced by dwelling size and energy efficiency, the CSO said. Overall in 2024, total metered electricity consumption reached 31,903 GWh a 4.3% increase compared with 2023. Non-residential consumption constituted the largest share at 72% of the total. Urban and Rural Residential customers accounted for 18% and 10% respectively, the figures show. Large energy users, which include data centres, used 31% of metered electricity consumption in 2024, up from 30% in 2023. The proportion of electricity used by data centres continues to rise and represents over a fifth of all consumption in Ireland. In 2015, data centres accounted for 5% of consumption, rising to 21% in 2023 and 22% in 2024. Quarterly metered electricity consumption by data centres increased steadily from 290 GWh in the first quarter of 2015 to 1,829 GWh in the fourth quarter of 2024. Between 2023 and 2024, metered electricity consumption by data centres increased by 10% from 6,335GWh to 6,969 GWh. From RTÉ Radio 1's Drivetime, almost 2 million smart meters have been installed, but there is still no easy access to data Elsewhere, the CSO release noted there were 1.9 million residential customers with smart meters by the end of 2024, which is 83% of all residential meters. There was a 10% increase in the number of residential meters between 2015 and 2024, and the highest increases were in counties adjacent to Dublin City, with residential meters in Kildare and Meath both up by 19%. On the subject of electric cars, metered electricity consumption by stand-alone Electric Vehicles (EV) charge points rose by 43% from 23 GWh in 2023 to 33 GWh in 2024.
