Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Waste Charges: Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment

3:00 pm

Mr. Kevin O'Donoghue:

There are some, but some have had serious difficulty with the Chinese market closing. We do not want to get into a situation where we are making life more difficult. If one is introducing a full franchise model, some areas that currently do not have a waste collector operating there would have one, but at what cost? The franchise model would work very well in a city, perhaps, but the expectation at European level is that some of the costs involved go up as one moves to a lower density population. There is a great deal to be examined. Once we get the report from the CCPC we will look at both it and all the data Mr. Conway has collated from the price monitoring group together.
