Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Collection and Recycling of Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Paul McDonald:

The Department has approved that the IFFPG operates this scheme. As the operator of the scheme, it can operate it within the terms of the approval. If its operational decision is not to pay that amount, that is how the system will operate. I would not see any reason for the Department to interfere to that micro level on how the system operates.
