It has been wrecking my head to think that us as individuals, counsellors, Government or any agency would actually hire someone and give them 100% of a grant or a levy and be happy with only 70% of a return. Outside of this situation, I cannot think of anything else that even comes near it. Deputy Kerrane asked earlier about last year and Mr. Moloney said there was an 88% collection rate. That was fine. Senator Paul Daly broke that down and said it equates to 2 million bales. When Senator Paul Daly questioned him, he started talking about 88% of the 70%. Was there 88% collection overall last year or was it 88% of the 70%?
