- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Paul Kehoe: Okay. At the previous committee meeting, there was understanding given – I will not say "commitment" – that the IFFPG would clear the stockpiling within 12 months. Why has that not been done?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)
Paul Kehoe: What is the position with Littleton at the moment? I understand there is stockpiling there. Am I correct? Is that the responsibility of IFFPG or the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)
Paul Kehoe: Perhaps the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications can answer that question. Is Ms Kiely aware of stockpiling in the Littleton plant at the moment?
