Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate a matter of major national and local importance, namely, the need for Government to provide a national waste waiver scheme for all low income households, which would be administered through the social welfare scheme, in view of the disgraceful ten working days notice given to Mayo people as regards the cessation of the local authority-provided refuse collection system, with no provision whatsoever for a waiver for older and impoverished people.
