Ms Geraldine O'Sullivan:

From my perspective, with farmers, the basic thing is that there is a service and there are local bring centres. One of the key asks is that there is a reliable service they know they can bring their plastic to and that here is full transparency on the cost and price, and when they are on. That is the biggest thing. We have spoken to our members on this. The biggest thing is that there is a local centre. There are 200 of these per year. The farmers know exactly where they are taking place and there is a weights system, so they know exactly what is going on.

When looking at this, it is very important to recognise that what we have in this country is very unusual. It is a massive success for the farmers who are participating in this scheme, and that should be recognised. Obviously, everyone would love to go back to the day when there was a value. With regard to the plastic, as Ms Kiely said, it is not a massive cost. There is a concern. We need to be looking at value markets or else the cost could potentially increase. It is a big issue. We need to be looking at markets to try to optimise so that-----
