Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion (18 May 2021)

Jackie Cahill: A significant amount of plastic is stockpiled. Mr Moloney said himself the IFFPG has some of it stockpiled. A significant amount of it is stockpiled by independent operators. Does Mr. Moloney believe the stockpiling of plastic poses an environmental challenge? Would he be confident that it is all stockpiled safely?
