Galway Wool Meitheal 2024

What an adventure! PACESETTERS researchers on a field trip to the annual Meitheal in Athenry mart centre. The green transition requires a shift from petroleum-based fabrics to renewable materials. Sheep's wool is a wonderful solution, full of potential far beyond fast fashion and greenwashed clothing. We have so much to learn from the great work of Blatnaid Gallagher supported by Margaret Leahy, Michelle Hickey, Anja Sammon, and many others at the Galway Wool Cooperative.
