The named organisation is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2009 by the Government and industry to coordinate and lead sheep breeding in Ireland.

Complaints concerning evaluations and indexes are a matter between the named organisation and the respective breeders. Breeders should contact the organisation directly with regard to technical queries or complaints.
