Growing concern over bin waiver charges Q DAWN LOVE
POLITICIANS from across the spectrum at South Dublin County Council have voted in favour of a proposal urging the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Phil Hogan, to put in place a national system of bin charge waivers for low-income households. Some 17,000 householders in South Dublin are currently in receipt of the waiver. Labour
councillor Eamon Tuffy said he was concerned that, following the sale of the council’s household bin service, the waiver would “disappear” by early next year. “Now that the Manager has sold off the council’s household bin service to a private company, the waiver that the council operated for many years is no longer available to new applicants, and will almost certainly disappear by early next year,” he said.
