Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Collection of Farm Plastics: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Liam Moloney:

In the past, when our finances were very flush, which was ten or 12 years ago, we reduced both the recycling levy and collection charges to farmers. If we should get into such a position again we would most certainly consider reducing both the levy and collection charges. We are a not-for-profit body but we must have a certain amount of funding in order to run ourselves.
