Mr. Brendan Newsome:

I thank Deputy Ellis for his question regarding more business. We are always looking for more business. The larger ports take the largest tonnage in any product. We are limited to looking for niche markets which I mentioned in my submission such as scrap metal and RDF. RDF is a new product and about which we are very excited because we expect a minimum of 50,000 tonnes per annum. RDF is a win-win because it takes pressure off the country generally from the point of view of landfill, as landfill is running out and the European Union is becoming concerned about our reliance on landfill. Given that millions of tonnes of refuse is going into landfill, a start has been made to put it into RDF. It is packaged and wrapped four to five times and arrives in a bale, the shape of a glass. There is approximately a tonne in each bale and a ship takes 3,500 tonnes.
