If there are 4,000 tonnes at €160 per tonne, is the Department happy for that to be collected by somebody else and to leave this mess here for the time being? The Department needs to wake up and see where it is going in this plastic scenario. There are a few at the moment that need to be resolved. It is fine if the Department wants to put out new stuff after that, but it should bear in mind that the farmers and importers have paid somebody else €160 per tonne. If there are 7,000 or 8,000 tonnes, that is approximately €1 million that the IFFPG has received into its account for something it will not have to touch, and will not touch at the moment.
