I will move away from homelessness. There has been a project in Dublin City Council since 2019, when the new crop of councillors came in, to look at the remunicipalisation of waste. It is driven particularly by the difficulty with inner-city provision of waste services. It is difficult to get brown bins in inner-city areas. Many people live in terraced houses. We see a good model in Europe whereby there are group schemes for brown bins and for recycling and people's bags are not torn open where they do not have the space for large bins. Does the Department take any particular position on an authority that might come to it with a proposal for the remunicipalisation of waste?
