Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Collection and Recycling of Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

The first question related to farming organisations. We have not been approached by any other farming organisations expressing an interest in being represented on our board. Therefore, no other farming organisations, apart from the IFA, are on our board. The IFA represents farmers effectively on our board.

We made the point with regard to the levy clear at the previous meeting. That levy is how we fund our group. We are self-funding. It is money we generate from our members and from farmers. The levy is required in its entirety to run our scheme, which is highly successful. No part of that levy is available to independent collectors.
