Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the engagement he has had with the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment with regard to undertaking a review of the potential demand in international markets for wool-based products; the analysis his Department has carried out into the potential employment opportunities in the wool industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI was delighted to be in a postion to announce the allocation of €100,000 for the review of the potential demand in international markets for wool-based products such as insulation and fertilisers and which hopefully will develop a roadmap for the irish wool industry.
I have not engaged with the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment as yet on the subject as the establishment of the procedures involved are at a very early stage. My officials are currently looking at the options for the format and administration of this review.
