Mr. Clancy stated that he has invoices which show that this charge has been passed on to customers at between €1.50 and €3.50 over recent years. Why did Repak ELT decide to impose a higher charge on its customers? It did not go to tender but made that decision. A point was made about the comparison with other European countries. However, reputable contractors or operators collected and recycled tyres at €1.50 per tyre heretofore, which was acknowledged, but Repak ELT still decided to increase the charge to €3.44 inclusive of VAT. Why was that?
