Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...questions as anybody else. He is doing fine. I share the view of the person who sent the e-mail to which the Deputy referred, and who supports environmental efficiency and the proper disposal of waste. I am glad the person points out the issues relating to the disposal of plastic, paper and cardboard in green bins and so on. The Deputy also spoke about working families and the...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Enda Kenny: For many years waste collection was operated by local authorities but that has now changed and competition now applies. Deputy Martin raised a valid point when he spoke of the need to look at the entire structure of the management of waste disposal. This could be looked at as different systems are in operation in different parts of the country. In many places there may be only one or two...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Enda Kenny: I thank Deputy Adams for his comment. I listened to his deputy leader saying that anything that would promote the better distribution and management of waste should be supported. Everybody accepts that the less one has to put into landfill in the black bin the better and that better use of brown and green bins will follow through. Deputy Adams wants to jack up income taxes to put more...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Enda Kenny: The spirit of the legislation was that by looking differently at how waste could be disposed of, the charges could be reduced. In other words, consumers or customers would have the option to examine carefully and think about how they would dispose of their waste in terms of green, brown and black bins and that on a pay-by-weight basis, charges could be reduced. Clearly, that was not what...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Enda Kenny: ..., what the Government seeks, and most Deputies would agree with this, is that people would take the opportunity to think more carefully about the way they deal with refuse and the disposal of waste. The theory and spirit of the legislation was that, as a result of examining what should be put into a black bin, less would be put into it on a pay-by-weight basis, which would mean a...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committees (8 Jun 2016)

Enda Kenny: Waste management will be part of the discussions that will take place anyway at the Cabinet sub-committee. I do not have the details referred to by the Deputy but with the indulgence of the Ceann Comhairle, she might raise the matter on the Adjournment and get a direct response from the Minister.

Spring Economic Statement (Resumed) (29 Apr 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...decisions that have a financial implication for households, least of all as we are emerging from one of the worst recessions this country has endured.
