Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source

I am sharing with Deputies Ryan and Healy. The Social Democrats have submitted two amendments to the Fianna Fáil motion. As we know, waste licences or permits are currently issued by local authorities. Many, if not most, of the large waste collection providers are incorporated in the Isle of Man. There is no point in having a regulator if the information essential to stop price gouging is not available. We argue that in order to qualify for a waste licence or permit, an operator should be required to publish accounts in Ireland.
