I am pleased to advise the Deputy that following a competitive public procurement process, I have recently appointed ‘The Agile Executive', a consortium comprising experts from Munster Technological University and Donegal Yarns, to conduct a review of the potential demand in domestic and international markets for wool based products such as insulation and fertilisers.

The Agile Executive have been contracted to carry out the review in accordance with the Terms of Reference and will also be required to examine and evaluate the proposals received during the public consultation and report on their findings. The report is due to be published in the first quarter of 2022 and I hope the recommendations from this review will help focus the development of robust policy roadmap for the Irish Wool Industry.
