My Department has been engaging with key stakeholders, including the Irish Cooperative Organisation Society, over a considerable period of time and this has continued since the publication of the general scheme in November 2022.

Pre-legislative scrutiny of the general scheme is ongoing by the Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment and I expect to receive a report from the Joint Committee in the coming weeks. I will be giving careful consideration to any recommendations contained in that report and expect to have further engagement with stakeholders, including ICOS, in that context.
