I do not think people are looking for a gentleman's agreement. This gentleman is with Greyhound but that company is exempt from the new charges and is not a part of the Irish Waste Management Association. This man has to stay with his provider so he cannot be exempt from any new charges.

I remember when the service was in public control, maybe ten or 12 years ago, but I do not remember any fly tipping, or at any rate it was very rare. Now it is almost contagious across the country and there is a correlation between that and the privatisation of the public refuse service. It will cost local authorities around the country millions and millions to clean it up. This service should not be privatised - it should be in public hands.
