John Teeling joins Business Builders for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about risk, resilience, and the 20-year bet that helped revive Irish whiskey. When John entered the industry in the 1980s, Irish whiskey had fallen to under 2% of the global market. Consolidated into a struggling monopoly and written off by many, it looked like a declining category. Instead of walking away, he built. From buying a shuttered chemical plant in Dundalk and installing second-hand pot stills, to navigating bank loan recalls, political pressure, and years without meaningful profit, John explains what it really took to build Cooley Distillery; and why the payoff took nearly two decades. But this episode goes far beyond whiskey. John shares lessons from decades in mining, resources, and investing, where high risk doesn't mean high reward, but high probability of loss. He breaks down the difference between risk and uncertainty, why “the Euro is an orphan,” and why unsophisticated investors should never be in speculative markets. This is a conversation about long-term conviction, imposter syndrome, stubborn belief, and building businesses that outlast downturns. At 80 years old, John reflects on endurance, energy, family, legacy, and what it really means to take responsibility when you persuade others to back your vision.

Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company®, in the presence of An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, has announced that it is committing USD $350 million, up to a landmark USD $700 million, to support the construction of a 150,000 sq. ft. advanced manufacturing facility by Hanley Energy. The new facility, located in Dundalk, Co. Louth, will serve as a global hub for manufacturing specialized power equipment essential for Equinix's high performance data centres and AI-driven workloads. The deal covers an initial 5-year period, extendable to 10 years, with a minimum of USD $70 million from Equinix annually, underscoring its long-term commitment to Ireland and the country's role in Equinix's global operations. The partnership with Hanley Energy, which was recently acquired by the American multinational manufacturing company, Jabil, will create hundreds of new roles. Hiring for the Hanley factory has already commenced for an initial 200 engineers and technicians, focused on precision engineering, quality assurance, and lean manufacturing. Apprenticeship and training programs will also be introduced to build future-ready talent in the Louth region. By co-locating production under one roof, Equinix expects to achieve 10–15% faster lead times compared to traditional procurement methods. The facility will manufacture low-voltage switchgear, Power Distribution Units (PDUs), and Remote Power Panels (RPPs), all critical components for reliable and efficient power distribution in data centres worldwide. The building of the new facility, by Hanley Energy, will prioritise low-carbon materials and efficient construction practices. The facility will feature a temperature-controlled testing laboratory – the only one of its kind in Ireland or the UK – which will enable equipment to undergo rigorous endurance and environmental tests. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said: "This significant announcement reinforces Ireland's position as a leader in digital infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. The creation of hundreds of skilled jobs and the introduction of world-class facilities in Dundalk is a major boost for the region and for our national economy." Adaire Fox-Martin, CEO and President, Equinix, said: "This investment builds upon Equinix's longtime presence in Ireland and reflects the strategically important role the country plays in the global technology ecosystem. Our expansion in Dundalk further strengthens our ability to meet growing customer demand while creating local jobs and supporting the community." Peter Lantry, Managing Director, Equinix Ireland, said: "This is a huge win for Ireland and the Louth region – highlighting the world class engineering talent that Ireland continues to develop. By securing our supply chain and investing in local manufacturing, we're not only accelerating delivery but also creating hundreds of high-skilled jobs. Importantly, we remain committed to Ireland, continuing to invest and grow our presence here. This reinforces our long-term presence and ensures we can meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure worldwide." Hanley Energy delivers seamless integration from design to manufacturing under one roof, backed by proven expertise in engineering and testing.

The refrubished Oriel Park gets its new season curtain raisers with a large crowd for the Louth Derby. While Dundalk dominate the stats, a recurrance of last week's late concession sees an otherwise toothless Drogheda Utd leave with an equal share of the spoils.

As the Louth derby in the League of Ireland played out to a 1-1 draw, Ben Symes was on the scene to get the reaction from both sets of managers, Drogheda's Kevin Doherty and Dundalk's Ciaran Kilduff.
