Hold on a second. To be clear on this, in fairness there is a time of year when bring centres are open, so the plastic is there from then on. Farmers have nothing to do with this. I am asking if the Department is concerned that of last year's plastic, and this year's plastic that is about to come around the corner, that there is 15,000 tonnes of plastic hanging around the country? In my opinion there is more because there are private plastic operators as well. It is not down to seasons because recycling goes on year round. If is it going to England it goes year round, and if it goes to Ireland it goes to places in Ireland. What is the Department's view on that?
