Wool council has been formed
The Department of Agriculture has committed to providing €30,000 in financial assistance to the initial set-up costs of the council.
A new wool council was formed in Athlone on Wednesday.
One of the key recommendations made in a €100,000 wool feasibility study published last summer was the establishment of an independent wool council, to be industry-led and contain stakeholders from the wool sector including farm organisations, merchants, and those in research.
