Regarding the question of the amount of plastic that is actually stockpiled, am I correct in stating that Mr. Moloney reckons the figure from his side of the house is anything up to 10,000 to 12,000 tonnes, which would be one third of the product and of the yearly supply?

A previous witness stated the actual amount in the State could be anything up to 20,000 tonnes. Obviously, that is not verified by anyone; it is a statement that was made at committee. What does Mr. Moloney believe is the solution regarding this amount of plastic we have around the countryside? How can we find a solution to make sure this plastic can be sent to recycling rather than stockpiled in yards around the countryside?
