Vote 25: Environment, Community and Local Government
Chapter 5: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities
Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste

10:00 am

Mr. John McCarthy:

No; this is our own initiative. In effect, we will try to get to a point at which we can build up a clear picture of who is subscribed to a collection service. One can then go to those who are not subscribed and ask for a receipt from, say, the civic amenity site every second week stating that they have taken their waste there. This is an area that we need to target in the legislation that is coming on stream.
