Mr. Liam Moloney:

I would say 98% to 99% of what is being collected at the moment is being collected by the scheme. In previous years, independent collectors would have collected larger amounts than they are currently collecting. We have no issue with independent collectors - they are entitled to operate - but we need all the income we generate to run our scheme and to continue achieving very high results. We see the independent collectors as doing something separate from what we do. We have a contractor tendering process every five years and that is an opportunity for any independent collectors who might want to become involved with our scheme to submit a tender and have it considered.
