Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion
Mr. James Fitzgerald:
Yes. It is a combination of all three or four aspects of what Deputy Fitzmaurice has just said there. The legislation has to be examined. On the amber versus green matter, we believe that something simple for now might get that moving such as a statutory instrument or a ministerial order. We should have a body made up of the private collectors and the IFFPG to attempt to resolve the issue together. We could put it together with the Department, with a view to pulling together all the aspects and issues involved to have a solution and most definitely to look at having a facility in Ireland, if that was at all possible.
