Brian Stanley (Laois-Offaly, Sinn Fein)

The promised regulatory impact analysis was to be published by Easter. From what the Minister is saying, it seems it is soon due. There are problems with waste collection all over the city, but particularly in certain areas where rubbish is left scattered. We clearly need a service level agreement. Refuse collection companies are leaving rubbish uncollected. Black plastic bags are left in some areas, and shops are still selling bin tags. The waiver scheme has been abandoned even though, as I understand it, it was supposed to be retained for 12 months. How will that aspect knit with the proposed national waiver scheme contained in the programme for Government?
