The point was made earlier by one of the witnesses, and I have forgotten by whom exactly, that truckers' tyres, which are commercial tyres, are not the subject of being dumped throughout the country and that it is car tyres that are being dumped. Is this accepted? The point was made that one does not find truck tyres up on the Featherbeds or wherever. Therefore, I go back to the €11 and ask myself why, if they are not being illegally dumped, will they be the subject of a much larger fee.
