Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Prior to 2010 we paid a lot more of a subsidy to the knackery service, and by "we", I mean the taxpayer. In considering how we manage this now, we have to have regard to what the taxpayer pays compared to the knackeries and farmers. We have substantially reached agreement on the key issues with the knackery service.
