The Deputy will be aware that funding of €100,000 was committed in Budget 2021 to conduct a review of the potential demand in domestic and international markets for wool-based products such as insulation and fertilisers.

Following a competitive public procurement process, the successful tenderers "‘The Agile Executive’ a consortium of experts from Munster Technological University and Donegal Yarns" were appointed in November 2021 to carry out the review and examine the submissions received under the public consultation process.
