Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

Our compliance officer is working all the time with our members to ensure we get accurate returns in, and then he is working all the time to ensure we get the funds from the members that relate to the returns. At the same time, he is working with local authorities to ensure that, for example, cases of illegal supply of product are dealt with. Very shortly, he will be going out with the Border local authorities to work in that particular area. As well as that, he works with our contractors to ensure that our bring centres are run in line with the legislation. He works as hard as he can also with our contractors to ensure their waste facilities are properly operated.
