Mr. Moloney has said that his group has €3 million in its account. At the moment it has been stated that there are 24,440 tonnes of plastic around Ireland. If every bit of that plastic is got rid of, Mr. Moloney has said that his group is financially solvent, and if I calculate the figure rough in my head then it costs €125 a tonne to get rid of every bit of the plastic if the group has €3 million in its account. That is what Mr. Moloney is saying his group can rid of the plastic for but I am saying that farmers, between what they are paying coming in and going out, is paying €540. Where is the discrepancy? Either the group has not a heap of money in the bank or there is a link missing.
