Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion
Mr. Liam Moloney:
Fertiliser costs have reduced, as the Deputy will be aware. Hopefully, then, more fertiliser will be used, which would suggest more farm plastics will be purchased. We have no idea, obviously, of what the weather is going to be like and this is the biggest determining factor. Last year, we had six to eight weeks of drought and that killed second-cut silage. This caused the market to reduce significantly.
