Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

Yes, but, of course, there are other costs associated with the scheme. There are the administration costs and, as mentioned previously, we have to have a reserve to ensure that if we hit a bump on the road, we will have the necessary funds to deal with it. I am afraid all the money the scheme generates is needed by the scheme to continue providing this reliable, consistent, cost-effective service to farmers.
