Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The position is quite clear, as I have said. There is a transfer of waste collection services in Dublin from Dublin City Council to a private company. An issue arises that affects 18,000 of the 140,000 householders concerned. It is a problem and must be dealt with. The position of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government is absolutely and clearly known to Dublin City Council, the company and, not least, the public because he made it clear in the House.
