I have four brief questions for the CCMA and four for the IWMA. I thank both organisations for being here because this us a very useful conversation. Obviously, many of us come with different views on this but to have this conversation is constructive.

My first question is for the IWMA. By law now, every household is supposed to have a brown bin. We know that, particularly in Dublin, many streets are bag collection only. What solutions are IWMA members putting in place to ensure the legal obligations are met and that every household will have a brown bin collection by the end of this year, as Mr. Scott stated?
