Irish save money and sell whiskey while Finance looks on

During the last 18 months of the Covid pandemic Irish households added €21 billion to their savings.

In 2020 137 million bottles of Irish whiskey were sold worldwide.

Two facts that surely must give some ideas to Department of Finance.

Presumably the DoF will be well aware of the whiskey exports and the appropriate tax levied on the relevant companies. As to savings, what are you suggesting? Interest rates are already pretty close to zero. Not sure what you are driving at.
