So, as Senator Lombard stated earlier, we do not know the amount of plastics that is in the country in total. The Irish Farm Film Producers Group is working on figures that it has compiled with the industry. We are turning a blind eye to everything else. It is using those figures because it looks good for the organisation. However, in fact, in respect of recycling and the amount of plastics in the country, straightaway we are down 10%. It could be 20% or 30% - we do not know. Is that fair to say?
