Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Collection and Recycling of Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

We would say that farmers are ably represented by the IFA. In terms of our relationship with farmers, it is all about the service we provide to them, and that service is of a high quality. Farmers have bought into our service and are very happy with it in terms of the cost and convenience. The figures are there to support that. We achieved an 80% recycling rate last year, involving 34,500 tonnes of material. Farmers are very well represented on our board at the moment and are receiving a very good service from us.
