Proposal to lift wool prohibition to aid Ireland trade
The author argues that ending the prohibition on Irish wool would curb illegal wool exports to France, boost Ireland’s woollen industry, and ultimately benefit England by reducing French market gains. He contends Ireland would grow wealthy under own wool production, potentially aligning its interests with England while avoiding harsher measures. The piece signals further discussion needed on additional remedies beyond repeal.
