John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

We will ensure that people are registered. Under legislation, people will have to dispose of their rubbish or waste in an environmentally friendly manner. In other words, they will be required to register with a local authority or private operator. The only conclusion one can reach is that those who are not registered are either fly-tipping or burning their waste. The question of whether a regulator should be established in the areas of waste has been discussed and I have come to the conclusion that such a regulator is required.
