Ms Geraldine O'Sullivan:

This is an issue that comes up a lot with our members. We did a survey last year to try to get a handle on it. We previously spoke with the Department and it asked us to try to get some kind of handle on where we were in respect of waste tyres. We did the survey last year. We will meet representatives of the Department next week to discuss the possibility of trying to do something similar to what was done in 2019 with regard to tyres. There is considerable demand among farmers around waste tyres. It has been a number of years since that pilot scheme. We have some information from that survey and we will be talking with the Department next week to explore the possibility of doing something similar to what was done in 2018.
