I want to go back to the points Deputy Fitzmaurice raised about the figures and the €210 per tonne levy. Notwithstanding that the IFFPG is obliged to collect only 70% of plastic, is it the case that it collected 80% last year? Doing the sums on that, the organisation was, in reality, receiving a levy of closer to €300 per tonne, based on the tonnages it is collecting.
