Mr. McDonald cited twice, if not three times, the precedent whereby he believes farmers might buy plastic but not recycle it the following year and stated that there might be an overlap regarding the recycling. Taking that into consideration, over the 23-year period of the scheme has there ever been a situation where we had 110% recycling? In that scenario, there would be 110% or 120% recycling going through the scheme. Can Mr. McDonald give a breakdown, by year, of when we peaked in recycling?

I do not know much about Mr. Moloney and Mr. Walker. I just sat and listened to their testimony. There seems to be €5,000 difference between their testimonies. Does Mr. McDonald acknowledge that, as he listened to them? Can Mr. McDonald explain, in detail, what the Department will do with that information?
