I am talking about the 12%, and I said it from the start. Everybody is talking about the 70% to 88%. I am talking about the 12% to 30% that there is no obligation to do but yet for which IFFPG is paid. As Deputy Browne said, I do not know of any other instance in the world where somebody gets paid upfront 100%, to use his analogy, to build a house or whatever, and everybody seems to be happy if that builder walks away and gives him up wall plates but no roof on the house - only 70% of a house. A Department and a company with a board of directors cannot see a problem with that. That is the problem. Mr. Moloney is not getting me. No one can seem to see the problem I am raising. That is the bit I cannot get. I know a gun cannot be put to people's heads to make them recycle but the Department at least has a responsibility to know where the other 12% of that plastic is. Is it in bog holes? Is it getting buried? Is it getting burnt? Nobody seems to care because they are paid. Why would they care? If they could stick to their 70%, they probably would be even twice as happy because they would have 30% more profit because they are getting paid for 100%. It is the fact that nobody cares or nobody is asking the question. It is a flawed system and something has to be done about it. I will go back to the committee to know what we are to do about it.
