Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Collection and Recycling of Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

We collect the material, which is another charge. In many cases we have to pay our contractors to bale the material. On top of this, we have to run our office and advertise the service. We are a not-for-profit body. We send audited accounts every year to the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. It is very happy with how we operate. I assure the Deputy that every cent we generate this year we will spend on what we collect and recycle this year and carried over from last year.
