That is not necessarily so. Hold on. There is nothing written on anything telling a farmer where he has to go with it. The farmer paid the levy. If Joe Bloggs down the road has a licence to take plastic, will I go to Joe Bloggs or will I go to a bring centre 20 miles or 25 miles away? The IFFPG said there are four in Ireland in different places and, in fairness, it also comes to marts. The levy of €160 per tonne for every tonne that came in was paid by the people who brought it into the country. The IFFPG has it. It is in their arse pocket, or in their company or whatever. The Department is refusing to do anything to resolve this situation. Considering that it has got involved and moved one situation, why does it not regularise the rest? It can then put out a ruling, or send a letter to every farmer telling them they need to bring it to a Department-approved bring centre. This particular case is historical and the Department has done nothing about it. It has been let sit there.
