Quiz: How much do you know about Irish exports?

Whiskey, butter, booze and botox – we’ve got it all.

A 20% TARIFF has been announced on exports from the European Union, including Ireland, by the US.

The tariffs, which will come into effect on 9 April, are set to impact a range of Irish products, with the move widely condemned by Irish and European leaders.

With Irish companies bracing for impact, we wanted to ask you: How much do you know about Ireland’s exports?
