I propose to take Questions Nos. 1263 and 1264 together.

The Irish Grown Wool Council, established on the basis of a recommendation of the review of market opportunities for Irish-grown wool based products, was launched on 5 April 2023. It is an independent all island group comprising stakeholders from all sectors of the wool industry. My Department does not hold a seat on the Council and as an independent body, it is a decision for Irish Grown Wool Council members whether to take and publish minutes of its meetings.
