Giving its content the benefit of the doubt, we are talking about 95%, so there is still a shortfall of 5%. Based on figures we calculated here previously, that is the equivalent of 2,000 tonnes still unaccounted for. That is a lot of plastic to be going into a wheelie bin to be honest. I am not being smart or flippant. It has to be out there somewhere. The bones of my question follows into my second question. There are 5,000 tonnes unaccounted for on which IFFPG has been paid the levy to recycle or handle. That is a substantial amount of money. I know the Minister of State is moving on to my next question, but IFFPG is literally insolvent.
