Mr. Liam Moloney:

We have carried out research on that matter and our database supports it. Farmers typically come out on a two, three or four-year cycle. They do not come out every year. The Deputy will also be aware that many of those farmers with herd numbers are not necessarily wintering cattle, or they are wintering such small numbers of cattle that they are only generating minimal amounts of plastic. The majority of livestock farmers in this country use our service.
