Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The position is that, in this period of transition, there should be flexibility. The company concerned needs to exercise this flexibility. The Government's policy on waste services is set down in the programme for Government. The company concerned is aware of that. There are other options that can be pursued if the company concerned does not show the flexibility that is required to ensure there is a collection service for the householders of Dublin and that there is a reasonable arrangement made for the payment of the charges.
